Why Get an LLM from the George Washington University Law School?
Washington, DC Location
The law school is four blocks from the White House, across the street from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, and within walking distance of the U.S. Department of State, federal courts, Big Law, and nongovernmental agencies. GW Law places students at the center of the most dynamic legal activity in the United States.
Integrated Learning
Our programs combine traditionally taught courses with seminars, externships, and skills training for a holistic approach to legal education.
