The Glendale University College of Law (GUCL) was a private, for-profit law school in Glendale, California. Founded in 1967, the school ceased operations in 2024.[3] The school was accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the California State Bar.[4][5]
GUCL was founded by Seymour Greitzer[6] and Julius Alpheus Leetham in 1967 as the Glendale College of Law.[7] The institution renamed itself Glendale University College of Law in 1975.
In July 2019, GUCL achieved a first-time pass rate of 64% exceeding ten ABA-accredited law schools in California.[8] In October 2020, the first-time pass rate was at 62%.[9]
GUCL was located in a two story brick building since 1970. The building was constructed in 1941 by Los Angeles County for use by the Health Department and as a County Courthouse.
