About Law Offices of Arlene D. Kock
University of San Francisco School of Law:
I earned my Juris Doctor at the University of San Francisco School of Law. The school,established in 1912 shortly after the University of San Francisco was founded by a group of Jesuit Fathers, is dedicated to the pursuit of higher learning. Today, the law school educates just fewer than 700 students and awards about 200 law degrees annually. The USF curriculum is unique in its commitment to both tradition and innovation.
The law program rigorously trains its students in the skills necessary to effectively practice while also exposing them to the changing trends in both society and law through unprecedented programming. The school maintains a strong emphasis on ethics in law, hoping to educate lawyers who will continuously fight for social justice in today’s rapidly evolving world where new legal questions are constantly coming to the floor for debate.
The University of San Francisco School of Law thrives on its commitment to diversity, where professors and students from a wide range of backgrounds can congregate and engage in unfettered scholarly debate. By encouraging close relationships between students and faculty, the school builds a supportive community where individuals can feel free to share their unique views and opinions. Through this exposure to different cultural and religious beliefs, the USF law student becomes a cultured and open-minded citizen, prepared to serve California, the United States, and the global community with a thirst for justice and fairness.
In order for its students to gain a worldly perspective on law, USF maintains formal study abroad programs for its law students in Dublin, Ireland, Prague, and the Czech Republic. USF also places dozens of students in international internships and externships in countries such as Vietnam, India, and Spain. I am honored to have attended such a progressive program that continually works to train the most competent, ethical, and respectful legal professionals.
