What I hope you get from a legal education at Hastings is... the ability to analyze facts and law, and to apply that ability in a manner that solves human problems with a minimum of expense and emotional turmoil.

My favorite part about teaching you is... sparking your own ability to learn on your own.

Hastings offers the following unique opportunities... San Francisco.
