Interim Dean's Welcome

As a first-generation college and law school graduate, I was drawn to GGU Law because of its dedication to expanding access to and diversifying the legal profession, something we have been doing for more than a century. We do this by providing a warm, diverse, and engaging community where students are driven to make changes in our community, country, and world.

As Dean, I am committed to helping each student succeed in law school and as lawyers. In fact, I meet individually with each new student to learn about their reasons for going to law school and how I can support them. You will also find this personal touch with every GGU faculty and staff member you meet. I am confident that you won’t find this same personalized and supportive environment at many other places.

I hope you will join me and the entire GGU Law family in San Francisco where we are always committed to the success of our students in law school, on the bar exam, and in the legal profession.

Sincerely,

Eric Christiansen Interim Dean & Professor of Law
