Summer at Richmond Law
Welcome to the University Richmond School of Law! We’re excited to welcome you to Princeton Review’s Most Beautiful Campus to learn more about learning the law.
Summertime at Richmond Law is much quieter than the academic year. A majority of our students are working in legal positions around the state and across the country, and our most recent graduates are preparing to take the bar. As such, we have very limited opportunities to visit campus during the summer months.
Our Campus Visit Calendar will list the select Fridays we host our campus visits. Each visit includes an information session, tour of the law school, and opportunity to chat individually with a member of the Admissions team. If none of the available visit dates align with your schedule, we encourage you to take a look at our interactive tour and video viewbook to learn more about us, or join us for our virtual Summer Strategy Series of workshops and information sessions to prepare you for the upcoming application cycle!

Summer Strategy Series Series: Virtual Information Session
In our (somewhat biased) view, Richmond Law is a great place to begin your legal education. Whether it is the collegial community or a capital city full of opportunities, we’re glad you’re tuning in to find out what makes our law school stand out from the rest. These sessions will allow for time with admissions representatives where you can have individual questions answered!

Summer Strategy Series: Virtual Personal Statement & Addendum Overview
Arguably one of the more challenging parts of the law school application process is writing your personal statement.
