Litigation Program

Welcome to the GGU Litigation Center. We welcome current and prospective law students, professors and practitioners to Golden Gate University's Litigation Center website: step seamlessly from the classroom to the courtroom - you can start by visiting us at http://ggulitigation.com/. This site features information about our faculty, courses, mock trial competitions, advocacy tips, our events, and the causes we support. Also, follow us on facebook here and twitter here.

Director's Message

In the past, lawyers learned trial practice in on-the-job training after completing law school. Today, graduates need to be prepared for the challenges that they may face in the courtroom before they step into it. Here at GGU Law's Litigation Center, we welcome students who are dedicated to improving their advocacy skills, and are open to innovative and professional approaches to learning.
