Explore Richmond

The city of Richmond, VA (RVA) has recently been named a top place to visit. We’d argue it’s also a best place to live too. If you like rich historic culture, incredible food, gorgeous riverside parks, outdoor events and festivals, and creative vibes, then you’ll love Richmond. Richmond has an international airport offering domestic and international travel, as well as Amtrak and it’s just a two-hour car ride to Washington, D.C., the mountains, or the beach.

Richmond Law is a community built on genuine, intentional connections — one that recognizes our students as a whole person rather than another face in the classroom. It’s the driving force that makes us a distinctly collegial community. Celebrating our diverse learning environment in which our students can thrive is a top priority — not only because it creates a better educational experience, but because it makes for better lawyers.

When deciding between law schools, location, culture, and finances were the big deciding factors for me. No other school is as plugged into the city!
