WHAT IS THE JEFFERSONIAN?
The Jeffersonian is Thomas Jefferson School of Law’s independent, student-run newspaper based in San Diego, California. It serves as a platform for law students to share information about local and national events as they currently pertain to the practice of law and the education of future lawyers.
Our goal is to inform Jeffersonian readers about the latest news in the legal community. We strive to be diligent, unbiased, and committed to the truth.
