They need to work on their rating, the brand new school is nice but what is the cost?

It's a good school but consider the cost. Also, because of its ranking, you'll need excellent grades to get the same opportunities as others at higher ranked schools.

Yes

The quality of the professors is top notch. You can expect challenging classes and meaningful interaction.

The school refuses to reduce class size despite falling rankings.

Get as much scholarship money as you can, and consider other options if you receive more money from them.

Quality of faculty-many are real world practitioners rather than Ivory Tower types.

Great clinical program.

Beautiful new campus.

-Too much of a focus on Humantiarian law-these types of jobs are scant and not readily available not non T-14 law school students.

If you are looking for a D.C. based law school where you can learn from great professors, WCL is a great choice. Also, if you lean liberal, you will feel comfortable here.

Judicial clerkship counselor is very responsive and helpful, even when reaching out as an alumni.

LL.M. in Law and Government students do not have as many opportunities to take advantage of the organizations in the school and are limited in the journals or groups they can be a part of.

It is in NW DC. The school recently was upgraded to new facilities and has state of the art resources now.

WCL has some amazing professors who not only enjoy teaching, but are great teachers too. And the professors have excellent relationships with nonprofits and government agencies for those interested in internships in those areas.
