Whittier Law School Classes Due in Fall
Whittier College Law School’s first Orange County classes will begin this fall near an Irvine shopping center, college officials said.
The college revealed plans in February to move the 650-student law school from Los Angeles to Orange County.
The 20-year-old law school now operates out of a 60,000-square-foot facility in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park area. College officials are negotiating for a permanent site in Irvine.
“The whole school should be moved down there by August 1997,” college spokesman Mike Netter said.
Fall classes will be at a temporary site near Park Place, a restaurant and retail shopping center.
It will be Orange County’s first law school with American Bar Assn. certification.
