Explore our Campus

The Civic Center is home to UC Law SF, as well as City Hall, courthouses, the Bill Graham Auditorium (where Commencement is held!), the opera, the ballet, the symphony, and the Asian Art Museum. In addition to being a place to explore between classes, our proximity to courthouses, government offices, and non-governmental organizations makes our location ideal for students participating in externships. We are also a short walk from the city’s largest Whole Foods, and from diverse and vibrant neighborhoods including Hayes Valley, with its shops and restaurants, and South of Market, home to some of the biggest names in technology. We’re also just a few subway stops away from Union Square, the beautiful Ferry Building with its famous outdoor markets, as well as neighborhoods like the Castro and the Mission.
