United States laws and regulations are more than just a list of things you should or should not do. They are a measure of our values, a snapshot of our society, and a benchmark of our progress as a people. The laws we enact tell the world what is important to us, and set the stage for future generations to debate and argue as the times evolve and change. Georgetown University Law School is preparing the lawyers of tomorrow by embroiling them in the legal questions of today.

For over 140 years Georgetown Law Center has guided bright young minds down the myriad twists and turns of the legal system. And while the legal system has changed much in that time, Georgetown Law Center has followed it every step of the way, making sure that, no matter which ocean of the law they decide to traverse, its graduates are capable of navigating the waters and staying afloat.

Situated in Washington, D.C., nestled in the very heart of our democracy, the Georgetown Law Center is uniquely poised to observe the continuing evolution of our laws and regulations. Students are afforded unmatched opportunities in trial cases, appellate court proceedings, and legislative midwifery on the Hill. A degree from Georgetown lets potential employers know that you have been in the thick of it, and that your legal skills have been tempered in the flames of firsthand experience.

A country is only as strong as the laws that bind it together. Georgetown Law Center students help keep our country strong and proud, by learning at the feet of some of the finest legal minds our nation has to offer, and, upon graduation, stepping up boldly to take the reins.
