Glendale University College of Law (GUCL) is a private, for-profit law school in Glendale, California. The school is accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the California State Bar, but not accredited by the American Bar Association.[3]
GUCL was founded by Seymour Greitzer and Julius Alpheus Leetham in 1967 as the Glendale College of Law. Although it is not a university, the institution renamed itself Glendale University College of Law in 1975.
The two founders believed that ABA law school accreditation standards discouraged the evening study of law.[4] As a result, GUCL does not meet the requirements for ABA approval.[5]
GUCL has been located in a two story brick building since 1970. The building was constructed in 1941 by Los Angeles County for use by the Health Department and as a County Courthouse.
GUCL confers undergraduate (BS in Law) and graduate (Juris Doctor) degrees in law. GUCL publishes the Glendale Law Review, a scholarly journal that is indexed in the Index of Legal Periodicals.[6]
