History

The School of Law was founded in 1951 as a part of Humphreys College; a second law school was later founded in Fresno, but it is no longer in existence. Originally called Humphreys College School of Law, it was renamed Humphreys College Laurence Drivon School of Law to honor the passing of long-time supporter, Laurence Drivon; this coincided with the move from shared facilities to its own building in 2004, dedicated in a ceremony by Mayor Edward Chavez in 2005 after construction had completed on its courtroom--dedicated as the Carcione Courtroom, after Joseph Carcione (of KCBS fame) by his son, prominent attorney Joseph William Carcione Jr.
