About Us

Experience the Law Firsthand

There's much more to learning the law than just coursework, research, and textbooks. At Gonzaga University School of Law, we approach your education from a different perspective. We want you to experience the law firsthand.

We offer a rigorous, personalized education that demands attention, involvement, and commitment.

Our Mission

To provide an excellent legal education informed by our humanistic, Jesuit, and Catholic traditions and values.

Our Vision

To instill in our graduates the ethical values, substantive knowledge, and practical skills they need to become effective advocates and compassionate counselors.

• As a humanistic institution, we recognize the essential role of human creativity, intelligence, and initiative in the construction of society and culture.
• As a Jesuit institution, we are committed to educating the whole person to serve the public good, to engaging in a dialogue with all cultures and religious or ethical traditions, and to pursuing justice.
• As a Catholic institution, we believe laws and legal institutions are subject to a moral order that transcends human whim and caprice.
• As a law school, we are committed to a healthy and respectful environment of free intellectual inquiry and exchange, and the protection of freedom of thought.

Our Welcome

Gonzaga is committed to building a vibrant, diverse community that welcomes all regardless of religion, race, color, national origin, heritage, gender, age, sexual orientation, marital or veteran status, or disability.
