The George Washington University Law School - Washington, DC
Established in 1865, GW is the oldest law school in the District of Columbia. It has a student population of around 1,750, which includes 1,250 full-time and 250 part-time J.D. students, and more than 200 graduate law students, many from abroad.
Location: The Law School is located on the main campus of The George Washington University, just four blocks from the White House in the downtown Washington, D.C., area known as Foggy Bottom. Across the street are the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. The State Department, Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and many other governmental and arts institutions are in the immediate vicinity. Please visit our Washington, DC links for more information about our nation's capital.
Curriculum: One of the Law School's greatest strengths is the richness of its curriculum. It offers students the opportunity to sample a broad array of areas of the law and to design a program of study that fits their individual interests and career plans. The Law School offers over 175 different elective courses each year. In addition to introductory level and more advanced courses in a variety of fields, there are some highly specialized areas of the curriculum that allow students to gain considerable expertise in a field. Those specialized areas include international law, environmental law, intellectual property law, and government regulation and constitutional law.
Faculty: While dedicated to excellence in the classroom, GW Law's faculty has remained at the forefront of legal scholarship both at the national and international level. Many faculty members have leading casebooks in their fields. Many of them have served as judicial clerks for Supreme Court justices or judges on other courts. Many are involved in developing public policy for government agencies and Congress, while others serve as advisers to the private sector. Through scholarship as well as commitment to public service the faculty has made a major impact, not only in the way the law is taught, but on the way it is practiced.
