The Law Office of Scott Sanborn

I graduated from Thomas Jefferson School of Law ("TJSL") in May 2023, took the CA Bar Exam that July (and passed on my first attempt). The faculty, administration, and staff are exceptional. TJSL does a wonderful job preparing its students for the CA bar exam and a career as an attorney.

One of the worst experiences I can ever go through. Misinformed after I withdrew from their summer 2023 ESP JD program (per invitational request to join). Was doing everything according to the timelines I was provided-none that made sense- as different due dates were communicated. Terrible deans, especially Michelle Allison-Slaughter who withdrew my Fall 2023 enrollment after I notified her about my positive COVID-19 result. In keeping with public health orders, I was told my attendance for week 1 orientation is important- more important than sparing other people’s health. I wouldn’t even consider reapplying after crossing disorganized professors & suggested to send another application next week for Spring 2024 start term. Campus area is so unsafe after 6 pm. If you’re invested in a premium quality JD education, then I wouldn’t recommend this school.

DO NOT APPLY HERE!! Horrible Administration. The law school offered acceptance, took seat deposit, then revoked admission weeks later without consulting me, and made up lies to excuse their conduct. The administration refused to correct the problem. The school appears to be in financial trouble, lost their ABA accreditation, and very expensive for what it offers...low bar passage rates. They were forced to move from their new building to a rented office building space elsewhere. The entering classes have dropped down to about 25% of the number of previous years. Don’t waste your effort, time, or money here!

Amazing law school. Professors and staff are dedicated and friendly. I moved here to San Diego from Memphis, TN in 1998, specifically because I wanted to attend TJSL.

Graduated from TJSL back in 1994 and had a great experience with top notch professors! Thank you for a great education and the preparation to become a zealous advocate and trial lawyer.
