The school was founded in 1859 and is the second oldest school at the University of Georgia. Graduates have held significant positions, including U.S. Senators, a Vice President, and a Supreme Court Justice.
The school sits in Athens, a city known for its music scene and student life. Students gather in coffee shops and local venues, creating a collaborative environment where classmates feel like future colleagues rather than competitors.
The campus is small and walkable, with small class sizes that enable personal interaction with professors and classmates. The city of Athens is close enough to Atlanta to easily access the larger legal market, while keeping living costs and housing affordable.
Four former U.S. Supreme Court justices teach at the school, offering students the rare opportunity to learn from the highest judges in the land. This direct connection to the federal bench is uncommon among American law schools.
