“Overall a good place to get a law degree”
September 2019FORMER STUDENT
Uppers

Location, alumni network, professors, health law program, class options, peers

Downers

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

Comments

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.

Would You Recommend

Yes

“Great Professors”
March 2019FORMER STUDENT
Uppers

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

Downers

The school refuses to reduce class size despite falling rankings.

Comments

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

Would You Recommend

Yes

“Great School in D.C. Area”
December 2016FORMER STUDENT
Uppers

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

Great clinical program.

Beautiful new campus.

Downers

-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.

-Did not have the best Career Counseling program-more or less "try and network" advice.

Comments

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.

Would You Recommend

Yes

“WCL Review”
February 2016FORMER STUDENT
Uppers

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.

Downers

WCL admits a ton of students to each class, which makes the school feel less prestigious.

Comments

Overall, you can receive an excellent education at WCL, if you are selective about which classes to take.

Would You Recommend

Yes

“Good School”

Uppers

Great teachers

Well regarded program

Downers

Too big

Focus too much on international law

Comments

Think about what area of law you want to go into. If it is international law this will be good for you.
