GW Law in DC

GW Law is located across the street from the International Monetary Fund and World Bank; four blocks from the White House; two blocks from Big Law on K Street; three blocks from the U.S. Department of State; and a Metro ride away from the Supreme Court, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the Environmental Protection Agency, and a host of nongovernmental and policy agencies.

That proximity, along with the established networks of our faculty, administrators, career counselors, and alumni, means that our students have unprecedented access to externships year-round, as well as countless opportunities to interact with those who create and enact policy.

For example, GW Law’s International and Comparative Law Program frequently hosts the State Department’s Public International Advisory Committee Meetings, which are open to the public. More than 400 events are held on campus each year, bringing high-level officials and practitioners to campus. Our students benefit from the vast number of networking opportunities that these events provide.
