From the Princeton Review's The Best Law Schools (1999 edition) ... For those of you not in the know, Georgetown is located in a beautiful section of Washington, DC, America's seat of power ... How about course selection? Everything goes here -- political, legal, public interest, legislation, government ..." rhapsodizes one student. "The moot court and mock trials are the best in the nation." ... Students revel in the "unbelievable knowledge of the professors"... Well, you can study Civil Rights Law with Charles Abernathy, a founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center, or Lawmaking and Statutory Interpretation with Eleanor Holmes Norton, the DC delegate to the US House of Representatives ... [Students] compliment them by saying how there is a "strong faculty with a focus on updating both the courses and the facilities." But how about their accessibility? "The faculty are friendly ... and always available when you need them." ... What about atmosphere? "The students are very willing to work together." "We all help each other." "Diversity here is terrific ..."

Still not convinced? How about the fact that one student doesn't think there is enough space on one of our survey forms to tell us everything he likes about Georgetown, so he went and typed up a full page's worth of comments? "The other day walking out of class into the main foyer, I stopped and took a good look around. It really did look like America, every color and persuasion you could possibly imagine. What was more significant to me was that it was mixed, everyone interacting with everyone else as opposed to one color on one side and one on another. It made me really proud to be part of something like this."
