The University publishes the Glendale Law Review, a scholarly journal that is indexed in the Index of Legal Periodicals.〔()〕〔http://www.enotes.com/west-law-encyclopedia/index-legal-periodicals〕 The University maintains 1 Faculty, that is a Faculty of Law. Recipients of the University's J.D. degree, who are otherwise properly registered as law students with the Committee of Bar Examiners, are qualified to sit the California State Bar. GUCL has been located in the same two story brick building for over 40 years since 1970, the building was constructed in 1941 by Los Angeles County for use by the Health Department and as a County Courthouse. GUCL has been approved by the Committee of Bar Examiners〔(Law Schools in California Accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners (CBE) ). California State Bar. April 10, 2010.〕 of the State Bar of California since 1978, but does not have accreditation by the American Bar Association. ==Founding== GUCL was founded by Dr. Seymour Greitzer, a special needs educator of, then, many years experience, and Julius Alpheus Leetham (1918–2008), a long-term Los Angeles County, California Superior Court Judge, who was, also, chairman of the Los Angeles County Republican Central Committee in the 1960s. Leetham served for a time as president of GUCL and presided there over student moot courts for decades. A 1940 graduate of Stanford University, Leetham served as a U.S. Army officer in the Pacific Theater during WWII. Leetham was aide-de-camp to Major General Rapp Brush, commander of the United States 40th Infantry Division. Thereafter, Leetham attended and in 1948 graduated from Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 2 founders were of the opinion that ABA law school accreditation standards discouraged the evening study of law by working executives, who desired to advance their careers through adjunctive education in law, and by others, including disadvantaged minorities, who also did not have the luxury of attending law school without being concurrently employed, but, who, nonetheless, desired to contribute to society as legal professionals.〔()〕〔(),〕 These founders, accordingly, sought only to alternatively qualify GUCL students to sit the California State Bar. This remains GUCL policy to this day.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glendale University College of Law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
