Western State is the oldest law school in Orange
County, CA. It was founded in 1966 but only
in 1998 did the ABA give it provisional accreditation and finally, in 2005,
Western State was granted full accreditation. 14 years later, Western State is
on the brink of closing.
Only about 33% of the graduates got full time JD jobs.
In July 2018, about 50% of the first time students passed the bar, the
repeaters passed at only 25%.
In January, its owners entered into a court
appointed receivership, citing massive debt and litigation. Western State is
operated by Dream Center Education Holdings, a subsidiary of the Dream Center
megachurch. In February, the US Dept of Education cut off federal student loan
eligibility because $9 million dollars that was supposed to be distributed to
students is missing.
To avoid closing mid-semester, the court has ordered
the receiver to fund the school through May, allowing the 3rd year students to
graduate, as the school looks for new ownership.
It looks like a grim prospect. Should Western State close after the spring
semester, it would become the 6th ABA-accredited law school to close or to
announce plans to close since 2016.
