History

The law school was founded as the University of Puget Sound Law School in Tacoma, in 1972.Anita M. Steele, "History of the University of Puget Sound School of Law," 12 Univ. of Puget Sound L. Rev. 309 (1989), https://digitalcommons.law.seattleu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1289&context=sulr The law school had a favorable admissions policy, and focused on large enrollments, despite the ensuing high attrition (failure) rate. In the mid-1970s, when faced with declining admissions due to demographic changes, the law school responded by increasing enrollment. Despite this, the ABA provided full accreditation to the law school in 1975. In the 1974–75 academic year, the student bar association was established, the first edition of the law review was published, and the first law clinic was started. In September 1980 the Norton Clapp Law Center was dedicated. This new law center helped to draw a class of 466 students—130 more than anticipated—into the entering class of 1980.

Move to Seattle

Dean Bond resigned to return to teaching in July 1993 and was succeeded by Professor Donald M. Carmichael, a faculty member at the law school since 1978, who had also served as the school's associate dean for academic affairs from 1987 to 1993. Seattle University purchased the University of Puget Sound Law School in November 1993. The law school officially became part of Seattle University in August 1994. Kellye Testy was appointed dean on February 15, 2005. During her tenure at the law school she co-founded the Law School's Access to Justice Institute, the

In August 2021, Dean Clark announced her intention to retire. Former Miami Law Dean, Tony Varona was selected to succeed Dean Clark. Prior to serving as Miami Law Deam, Mr. Varona served as Vice Dean, Associate Dean for Faculty and Academic Affairs, and Professor of Law at American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL). Before his 14 years at AUWCL, Dean Varona was an associate professor at Pace University School of Law in New York and adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center. He has taught courses in Contracts, Administrative and Public Law, Media Law, Sexuality and Gender Law, Intellectual Property, and Criminal Law.
