Whittier Law School was a law school in Costa Mesa, California founded in 1966. The law school was part of Whittier College, a private institution. After several years being ranked among the poorest-performing law schools in the United States based on bar passage rate and job placement,[2] Whittier Law School announced in April 2017 that it would no longer be admitting students and would discontinue its legal program,[3] becoming the first law school with full accreditation by the American Bar Association (ABA) to shut down in at least 30 years.[4] Since the school's closure, transcript requests are now handled by Whittier College.[5]
