SENATOR DAVE CORTESE’S LATEST OP-ED: SAN JOSE DESERVES ITS FIRST PUBLIC LAW SCHOOL

SAN JOSE, CA – In a newly published op-ed in San José Spotlight, Senator Dave Cortese makes the case for creating Santa Clara County’s first-ever public law school:

“It’s hard to believe that here, in the heart of Silicon Valley, we still lack an affordable, accessible public law school for aspiring legal minds. For a region like ours, the economic engine of our state, that’s simply unacceptable.”

Senator Cortese’s proposal and corresponding bill, SB 550, is moving quickly through the Legislature and has already garnered support from Lincoln Law School, the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, the Santa Clara County Bar Association, and other local legal aid organizations.
