The University of California, Hastings College of the Law (UC Hastings or Hastings) is a public law school in San Francisco, California, located in the Civic Center neighborhood. It is affiliated with the UC system, although it is not directly governed by the Regents of the University of California. The other UC campus dedicated to graduate education only, the University of California, San Francisco, is also located in San Francisco.
Founded in 1878 by Serranus Clinton Hastings, the first Chief Justice of California, it was the first law school of the University of California and was one of the first law schools established in the Western United States. It is also one of the few university-affiliated law schools in the United States that does not share its campus with undergraduates or other graduate programs.
