Helping Our Students Reach Their Utmost Potential
Central to Georgetown Laws mission of educating exceptional lawyers is the philosophy of cura personalis, or care for the whole person. Our wealth of supportive services, extracurricular opportunities and exceptional academic offerings help students forge a path to leadership that balances personal success and career achievement.
As a student here, youll become part of a warm and welcoming community of scholars from diverse backgrounds and countries around the world. In your first year, our Academic Success Program, including its 1L 101 workshop series will help you navigate the rigors of law school, while an upperclass peer advisor will offer you individualized guidance. Our robust chaplaincy, career and academic services will help you reflect, network and navigate our unparalleled experiential learning opportunities.
While enjoying all the resources of one of the largest U.S. law schools, youll discover tight-knit communities that share your passions. Our nearly 130 student organizations include cultural, political and professional groups, student journals, and our award-winning Barristers Council. Unique wellness programs, such as Lawyers in Balance: Mindfulness for Law Students, promote mindfulness and introspection to help you be a better advocate and live a healthier life.
