  Hastings College of the Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was founded in 1878 by Serranus Clinton Hastings, the first Chief Justice of California, as the first law school of the University of California (UC), and it remains affiliated with the University of California today.
UC Hastings is also the first and oldest law school in California, and one of the few university-affiliated law schools in the United States which does not sit on a general university campus.
When he gave $100,000 to UC to start the law school named after him, Justice Hastings imposed two conditions: (1) the school must be in San Francisco near the courts, and (2) it could not be governed by the Regents of the University of California.

 University of California, Hastings College of the Law
In contrast, those who attended U.C. Hastings generally felt it was a very miserable three years, for there is intense competition there, for students felt that they had to graduate at the top of their class to compete for the same jobs as Stanford and Boalt grads.
So, yes, Stanford and Boalt rank higher than Hastings and they are both extraordinary law schools, but I don't know anyone who ever actively worried that they were going to lose out on a job (or who ever actually lost out on a job) because they went to Hastings instead of one of those schools.

 SAN FRANCISCO / Evangelical law students sue Hastings
The Christian Legal Society sued UC Hastings College of the Law on Friday for refusing to recognize a student chapter on its campus because the organization bars gays, lesbians and non-Christians as members.
The Christian Legal Society has about 140 chapters at law schools around the nation, consisting of evangelical Christians who meet for Bible study and discussions about applying their faith to the practice of law, said Tim Tracey, litigation counsel for the organization's legal arm, the Center for Law and Religious Freedom.
The Hastings chapter had been a recognized club at the school and applied for renewal last month but was turned down because of its refusal to abide by university policy on sexual orientation and religion, the suit said.

 The Official Web Site of Suicide Prevention for the Golden Gate Bridge
Under California common law, however, only a person who is in a “special relationship” with someone who commits suicide can be held legally responsible for failing to prevent the suicide.
Thus, under existing law, public authorities are not liable for failing to prevent suicides from occurring on the bridges they administer.
There is no case law to support the idea that a public entity that voluntarily builds a barrier to prevent suicides on property it controls would, by that, create a special relationship between itself and potential suicides.
