William and Mary School of Law
Average Overall Rating
Program Description
Established in 1779 at the request of Thomas Jefferson, William & Mary Law School is the nation's oldest law school. William & Mary combines wonderful historic roots, a strong national reputation, and a wealth of programs with a cost that is a "very good buy." William & Mary is concerned for students' intellectual development as well as developing character and values as constructive citizens who will do their part in society. Many assume William & Mary is a private school - it is not. The Law School is small enough for people to know one another by name and large enough to form a critical mass for learning and scholarship. Members of the 2008–2009 student body earned undergraduate degrees from 242 colleges and universities and represent 47 states, DC, and 11 other countries. The Law School is located a few blocks from Colonial Williamsburg and within short driving distance of the metropolitan areas of Washington, DC; Richmond; and Norfolk. Visits and student tours are encouraged.
