Welcome to the Georgetown University Law Center web site. I'd like to tell you about some of the features of the Law Center. The Law Center, located in the heart of the nation's capital, educates an exceptionally talented and diverse student body for legal practice and the pursuit of justice at the local, national and global level. The Law Center's world-class faculty, recognized for the quality of both its scholarship and teaching, anchors a learning environment that combines academic and theoretical excellence with a thorough grounding in practical problems and the practice of law. The Law Center provides students with a world of opportunities. We offer more courses and seminars on domestic and international subjects than any other law school in the nation. Topics range from international law, environmental law, comparative constitutional law and federal regulation of financial institutions, to British legal history and the law of cyberspace. Our program in clinical education, ranked among the best in the nation, offers a wide range of legal assistance to people facing eviction, to prisoners, to victims of domestic violence and to other vulnerable individuals. Our location puts us within walking distance of Congress, the Supreme Court and the Department of Justice. Most of the cases heard by the Supreme Court of the United States are mooted first here at the Law Center. In addition to the wide variety of activities and opportunities available in Washington, D.C., the school has its own vibrant community centered on its residence hall, sport and fitness center, child care center and its enthusiastic students, faculty, staff and alumni. From Halloween trick-or-treating by children in the child care center to the annual Home Court basketball game between Law Center faculty and members of Congress, this is a community committed to both academic excellence and service to others. I hope you enjoy your virtual visit here and that you will visit the campus in person.
