From sunny beaches and scenic mountains to exotic restaurants and glamorous nightclubs, the city of Los Angeles is among the most exciting places in the world to visit or study law. A thriving and colorful metropolis, it offers a wealth of opportunities for aspiring lawyers as well as endless activities and attractions.
Both the Southwestern Law School campus* and the main conference location - the Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza - are minutes from LA Live, the Staples Center and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and just a short drive or subway ride from the buzzing nightlife of Hollywood and the Sunset Strip. Plus, various beach destinations are less than half an hour away - from the bustling Venice boardwalk to the cliffs of Malibu.
