Glendale University College of Law

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.

History
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. As a result, GUCL does not meet the requirements for ABA approval.

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.

Academics and publications
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.
