Law School Acceptances

Recent University of Richmond graduates have enjoyed great success in applying to law school.

• In the past five years, multiple UR undergraduates have gained admission to every T14 (or T16) law school, including Yale, Penn, Duke, Chicago, Michigan, Stanford, UCLA, and UC-Berkeley.    
  
  
• UR undergraduates have also enjoyed a good deal of success in their application to top regional law schools (i.e., those just outside the T14). These include the law schools at private universities such as Emory, Notre Dame, Wake Forest University, and the University of Southern California as well as public flagship law schools such as UNC-Chapel Hill, University of Georgia, University of Florida, University of Maryland, Penn State, University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin, University of Kansas, University of Arizona, and University of Washington.
  
  
• Many of our graduates focus their applications on law schools in the DC, NYC, and Boston metropolitan areas.  Here, too, UR students enjoy great success, with graduates regularly admitted to:
  • DC: American University, George Washington University, Howard University, Catholic University, and George Mason University – as well as Georgetown (a T14 law school)
  • NYC: Cardozo, St. Johns, Rutgers, Brooklyn Law, Fordham, Hofstra, Cuny, and Pace – as well as Columbia and NYU (both T14 schools)
  • Boston: Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, Suffolk, New England Law School – as well as Harvard (a T14 law school).

• Many UR graduates choose to attend law school in Virginia, including at the University of Virginia (a T14 law school), William and Mary, Washington and Lee, George Mason University, Liberty University, and last but certainly not least, the University of Richmond.
