Regional/National
- Pacific McGeorge Educational Pipeline Initiative — A national education outreach initiative matching young minority students and law students/alumni to mentor their success – so that college will be expected, and law school is a realistic possibility. To date, more than 40 ABA-accredited law schools nationwide have joined in this initiative.
- Victims of Crime Resource Center — Since 1984, Pacific McGeorge has hosted the state-funded California Victims of Crime Resource Center, which provides crime victims with legal reassurance and aid. Through the Resource Center's toll-free number, 1.800.VICTIMS, and their website, crime victims can obtain information from law students concerning compensation, restitution, their roles and rights in the criminal justice system, and referrals to local assistance providers and advocacy groups.
- Pacific McGeorge Legal Clinics — During the academic year, Pacific McGeorge offers several legal clinics providing guidance and assistance to community members regarding a variety of matters.
