CITRUS BELT LAW SCHOOL

California Southern Law School was founded in 1971 by Dean Elwood M. Rich, then a Riverside County Superior Court judge. Judge Rich taught Torts at a Riverside law school that closed earlier that year. So he began a research project to find a way to help those first year students complete the legal education that they had invested themselves in and decided to open a law school. And so in July of that year Citrus Belt Law School was founded, and opened it's doors to law students that Fall; located in the basement of the Security Pacific Bank building... Founded in 1971, California Southern Law School was the oldest law school in the County of Riverside when it closed in 2020. It conferred the professional degree of Juris Doctor... Citrus Belt Law School changed it's name in 1991 to California Southern Law School and occupied two single-story buildings totaling 10,000 square feet from 1986 to 2020.
