Honors Law Program

The University of Richmond recognizes that some of its undergraduate applicants already are considering a career in law and are preparing for postgraduate study at law school. To help these individuals meet their needs, the faculty of the University of Richmond School of Law and the Office of Admission offer a special program for qualified enrolling first-year Richmond students.

These selected students, upon acceptance as first-year students for undergraduate study, automatically will be offered a place in Richmond Law for the year following their graduation from Richmond’s bachelor’s degree program.

During the undergraduate years, the only stipulations to the program are that the student achieves a cumulative 3.5 grade point average by the end of the fall semester of the senior year and is of good moral character. Additionally, students who achieve an LSAT and grade point average at or above the median LSAT and grade point average of the previous year’s law school entering class are guaranteed admission to the University of Richmond School of Law.
