At Santa Clara Law, we are guided by a strong mission rooted in justice, ethics, and service. Situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, our law school blends a deep commitment to Jesuit values with a forward-looking approach to legal education. Our mission is to educate lawyers of competence, conscience, and compassion—lawyers who are not only skilled in their craft but also dedicated to advancing the greater good.

Since our founding in 1911, Santa Clara Law has built a legacy of excellence in legal education, with a special emphasis on social justice, intellectual property, and technology law. Over the decades, we have grown into a vibrant community of scholars, practitioners, and students who share a commitment to integrity, innovation, and service.
