McGeorge School of Law has become an internationally recognized leader in legal education since its establishment in 1924. Its location in Sacramento, California’s capital city, has shaped its development into a leading authority on public law, international law and advocacy.
Beginning in January 2024, the University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law will celebrate its centennial anniversary. We hope that you will join us throughout 2024 for events and programming related to the centennial anniversary, which will include an increased number of regional alumni gatherings, esteemed speakers, Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals oral arguments on campus, a kick-off party, and much more.
The year-long celebration will bring together alumni from across the nation as we move into our next hundred years together while honoring the events of the last hundred years that created the foundation for who we have become.
