For the past 27 years, Empire College School of Law has been providing a rigorous and quality Juris Doctor education for students wishing to pursue a career in the field of law. We are very proud of the accomplishments of our graduates including members of the judiciary in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, and Merced Counties. We are also very proud of our winning Moot Court Team in the 2000 California statewide competition and our Environmental Negotiations Team which was victorious in the 2001 statewide State Bar competition.
People choose to study law for many different reasons.
Some view themselves as future trial attorneys attempting to persuade a judge or jury to find in favor of his or her client. Others believe the legal system is the most effective way to address, and hopefully change, problems in society. Many believe that no matter what future career they pursue, the discipline and critical thinking skills learned while studying law will assist them in their future endeavors. One of the most fascinating aspects of the law is that it is always subject to change. Students quickly learn that the study of law is not a process of memorizing stagnant rules or principles but rather a process of carefully and effectively analyzing a client's position and preparing an oral or written argument to support that position.
