Telephone: (314) 935-6400

For over 135 years, outstanding students have attended Washington University School of Law. They have studied with a nationally recognized faculty. They have had the opportunity to augment their legal education through eight joint-degree programs, including particularly outstanding JD/MSW, JD/East Asian Studies, and JD/MBA programs. They have subsequently pursued legal careers benefiting from opportunities to network with our more than 6,000 alumni who practice in every leading metropolitan area.

Since the completion of Anheuser-Busch Hall in 1997, the Washington University School of Law has enjoyed a programmatic renaissance. Within the last few years, the school has established new interdisciplinary and international centers that focus on cutting edge issues that connect to the law. Our Career Services and Admissions Offices have been significantly enhanced. This School's commitment to clinical legal education is currently recognized through our Civil Justice, Criminal Justice, Interdisciplinary Environmental Law, Civil Rights and Community Justice, Congressional and Administrative Law, Intellectual Property and Business Formation and Judicial Clerkship clinics.
