University of Richmond
School of Law
Based in one of the nation's best liberal arts universities, a Richmond Law education offers more than preparation to enter the practice of law. It offers the opportunity for bright students to become outstanding lawyers who have the skills to make a difference in their communities—to "live greatly in the law."
The Law School's thriving centers—including Intellectual Property, Children's Law, Environmental Law, Family Law, Actual Innocence, and Juvenile Defense—attract top scholars and offer students exciting opportunities for focused learning and service.
Legal education at Richmond includes rigorous theoretical coursework in small classes, as well as real-world experiences in law firms, public service organizations, state and federal courts, and major corporations.
Richmond Law professors excel in both teaching and scholarship, and many are nationally recognized experts. A low student-faculty ratio of 14:1 and a strong tradition of individualized attention ensure that professors are accessible in and out of the classroom.
More than 96 percent of the most recent graduating class was employed within nine months.
