In 1921, Verne Adrian McGeorge began tutoring law students at night; a law school formed around McGeorge, an executive for the Standard Oil Company of California, at his house in Sacramento, CA. In1924, City of Sacramento leaders funded what was called three years later, the "Sacramento College of Law." This first location was in a building at the corner of 10th Street and L Street. to honor its founder who was dying from skin cancer, the school rechristened itslef as the "McGeorge School of Law" in 1929. The school remained in this first location until c. 1935 when the new Dean Gilford Rowland, moved the operation to a building at 824 J Street where it occupied an upstairs office. Much later, McGeorge consolidated its operations with Stockton, CA's University of the Pacific in 1966, forming the "Pacific McGeorge School of Law."
