Thomas Jefferson School of Law scores 780 — these providers rank higher on Verdica's composite trust score.
The Verdica score is a composite trust score from 300 to 850, computed from accreditation status, Title IV outcomes, and IPEDS data maintained by accreditors and the Department of Education. A score of 780 places Thomas Jefferson School of Law in CA in the strong (740–799) band. The score reflects publicly available regulator data — it is not a rating from Verdica itself and does not incorporate paid reviews or advertising.
Verdica combines three weighted sub-scores drawn from accreditors and the Department of Education. Each sub-score reflects a different dimension of education compliance — accreditation standing, graduation and default rates, and financial responsibility — and is normalized against industry peers before being aggregated to the 300–850 scale.
Verdica pulls public records from accreditors and the Department of Education: accreditation status, Title IV outcomes, and IPEDS data. Data is refreshed on rolling cycles, typically weekly to monthly depending on the source agency's own update schedule. See the "source data current" indicator on the entity page for the last successful refresh.

Yes. Entities can file a dispute directly from the score page, and business owners can claim their profile. Verdica reviews disputes against the underlying regulator record; the score is updated when the source data is corrected. Scores are recomputed automatically as new regulator data arrives.
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.
