University of California, Hastings College of the Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1027 words)
It was founded in 1878 by Serranus Clinton Hastings, the first Chief Justice of California, as the first law school of the University of California (UC), and it remains affiliated with the University of California today.
UC Hastings is also the first and oldest law school in California, and is one of the few university-affiliated law schools in the United States which does not sit on a general university campus.
When he gave $100,000 to UC to start the law school named after him, Justice Hastings imposed two conditions: (1) the school must be in San Francisco near the courts, and (2) it could not be governed by the Regents of the University of California.
