Whittier Law School

Costa Mesa, CA

Whittier Law School was a law school in Costa Mesa, California, founded in 1966. The school was founded as the Beverly College of Law and was originally located in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles.

In 1974, the Whittier College Board of Trustees voted to merge the Beverly College of Law into Whittier College, and the school later became known as Whittier Law School. In 1996 it relocated to a campus in Costa Mesa. In 2017, the school announced it would no longer admit students, becoming the first fully ABA-accredited law school to shut down in at least 30 years; it ceased all operations in July 2020.
