Faculty from other disciplines teach courses in the School of Law. The University and the School of Law are committed to ethnic and social diversity . Students and faculty of all faiths and cultural backgrounds will find spiritual support and social companionship at Santa Clara. Within the law school itself are student organizations that reflect that broad religious and ethnic diversity. A small university with a historic and beautiful campus , combines with a mild climate to produce year-round outside activity and informal relationships between students and among faculty.
Classes occasionally meet out of doors.
Faculty of different disciplines work together. Faculty and administration share coffee and conversation with students on the law school patio or dine together at the adjacent student center. While most law students live off-campus, two apartment complexes provide an opportunity for law students to live on campus with other law students. Proximity of the campus to the commuter train station and a regional transportation center allows convenient commuting. The School of Law itself is not physically housed in a single structure, but is located in a number of campus buildings close to each other.
