California's 12th congressional district is a congressional district in northern California. Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, has represented the district since January 2013. She has represented various congressional districts within the city of San Francisco since 1987. The district was also once represented by Richard Nixon. As of 2013, the 12th district is entirely within San Francisco, encompassing most of the city. The remainder of the city is included in the 14th district. Prior to redistricting by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission of 2011, the district consisted of roughly the area of the current 14th district. It is the smallest district by area outside New York City.

San Francisco Law School

San Francisco Law School is a private, for-profit law school in San Francisco, California. Founded in 1909, it is the oldest evening law school in the Western United States. The school became non-profit in 1941 and moved to Haight Street in 1968, where it would remain for almost 50 years before relocating to its present campus on Beach Street, near Fisherman's Wharf. The law school offers a four-year, part-time evening program leading to a Juris Doctor degree. In July 2010, the law school completed a merger to become a for-profit, graduate school of Alliant International University. San Francisco Law School has been accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State Bar of California since 1937, but is not accredited by the American Bar Association. As a result, SFLS graduates are generally required to pass the California bar exam before they can take the bar exam or practice in states outside of California. San Francisco Law School is also regionally accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. SFLS has a five year cumulative bar pass rate of 36%, below the 40% threshold established by the State Bar of California. As a result, the school has been placed on probation until July 1, 2022. Failure to raise its cumulative pass rate to 40% by that point could result in the termination of the school's accreditation.In 2014, San Diego Law School opened as a branch campus of San Francisco Law School and is located in the Walter Library on Alliant's campus in San Diego at Scripps Ranch. San Diego Law School offers a four-year part-time evening program and is also accredited by the Committee of Bar Examiners of the State of California.

Recreation Park (San Francisco)
Recreation Park (San Francisco)

Recreation Park was the name applied to several former baseball parks in San Francisco, California in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Recreation Grounds, opened on November 26, 1868, and operated until May 1884, and was San Francisco's first professional enclosed ballpark. Located at the terminus of a railcar line in San Francisco's heavily Irish Mission District, at the present day Garfield Square. The ballpark was bordered by the streets Harrison, Twenty-Sixth, Folsom and Twenty-Fifth. The opening day ceremonies included the second game of the California baseball championship series between the Oakland Wide Awakes and the San Francisco Eagles, who won by the score of 37–23. The day's festivities included an operatic concert and footraces and were attended by a crowd of 4,000 people. 37°45′1.78″N 122°24′47.78″W Photo. Haight-Street Recreation Grounds 1886 -1895. Another recreation grounds existed in the Haight, with ownership transferred to J.B. Gilbert of the Central league on September 8, 1893. and was also referred to as Haight-Street Recreation Park located between Stanyan, Waller, Cole and Frederic Streets was closed in 1895.Recreation Park, also known as Central Park, seating capacity of 15,000, opened on Thanksgiving Day of 1884 and operated until 1906. Located at 8th Street and Market Streets, was used by several clubs including the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League from 1903. Destroyed by the earthquake and fire on April 18, 1906. The Seals temporarily moved to Oakland while the city of San Francisco was being rebuilt. Photo. Recreation Park, located in the Mission District 37°46′1.87″N 122°25′23.93″W, was the best known and longest-lived of these ballparks. It was the home of the Seals during 1907–13 and then 1915–30 after a one-year experiment playing at newly built Ewing Park near the Richmond District. The experiment was a fiasco, largely because of the cold and foggy summer weather endemic to western San Francisco. The Oaks, in turn, had essentially moved into Recreation Park in 1907 and played most of their games there (except Thursdays and Sunday mornings) until their new Oaks Park was opened in 1913, although they continued to play some games in San Francisco until sometime in the 1920s. This congenial arrangement was made easier by the fact that J. Cal Ewing, founding father of the PCL, owned both clubs for their first couple of decades. The ballpark sat 15,000. It also become the home of the Mission Reds (a.k.a. "Missions") upon their arrival in 1926. The Chicago White Sox held spring training at Recreation Park in 1909 and 1910.This final incarnation of Recreation Park was on a block bounded by 14th Street (north, right field); Valencia Street (east, first base); 15th Street (south, third base); and Guerrero Street (west, left field) 37°46′2.7″N 122°25′23.32″W. The stands were an unusual design, with a small lower deck topped directly above (thus protected from the weather) by a large upper deck, much of which was unroofed and open to the sunshine and the elements. The stands were also made of wood. A new, concrete ballpark called Seals Stadium, less than a mile east of Recreation Park, opened in 1931 as the new home of both the Seals and the Missions. Recreation Park was demolished and the site was converted into a public housing project.
