A group of practicing lawyers and judges in Northern California decided there was a need for an evening law school in the Northern California area. Cal Northern School of Law was formed in Chico so that Northern California residents can maintain their employment, be near their families and still study law.

The Faculty Advisory Committee has selected the faculty members for Cal Northern from the Court Systems of Butte, Yuba, Sutter and Shasta counties. These trial lawyers and judges bring practical instruction to students, keeping students up-to-date with changes in the legal world which surrounds them.

Practical experience is stressed at Cal Northern. During the first and second year programs students are required to take a series of foundational courses; the third and fourth years at Cal Northern will provide students with a wide range of electives to broaden their academic horizon and provide them with the ability to step into the courtroom and be advocates.

Our goal at Cal Northern is to provide a special law program, without frills or fanfare, but with dedicated instructors and motivated students.
