Richmond, VA

The University of Richmond School of Law is committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service.  It educates lawyers to think critically, act ethically, advocate zealously, serve compassionately, and advance the broader social good of their communities. It produces knowledge that expands the understanding of law and contributes to the improvement of legal systems. And it cultivates and models a genuinely collegial community marked by inclusivity, civility, engagement, and concern for others and the greater good.

At Richmond Law, we create a particular type of lawyer: one who models the best of her profession when it comes to professional standards and values; one who, by the way he practices law, makes the justice system work better; one who demonstrates a true passion for the profession. Through individualized attention aimed at maximizing the personal potential of each and every student, we equip our students with the knowledge and skills they need, preparing them to make valuable contributions to the legal system.
