University of Virginia School of Law
The University of Virginia School of Law (Virginia Law) is the law school of the University of Virginia, a public research university in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The law school was founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1819 as part of his "academical village", now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Each class in the three-year J.D. programme contains approximately 300 students. The school also offers LL.M., and S.J.D. degrees in law and hosts visiting scholars, visiting researchers and a number of legal research centers.
Notable distinguished alumni include members of the U.S. Supreme Court, several of the Kennedy brothers, including Robert F. Kennedy, numerous members of both houses of U.S. Congress, twelve governors of Virginia, and judges on federal courts throughout the United States. The school has over 20,000 alumni in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and 64 foreign countries.
For the class entering in the fall of 2023, 305 out of 5,610 J.D. applicants matriculated. The 25th and 75th LSAT percentiles for the 2023 entering class were 167 and 172, respectively, with a median of 171. The 25th and 75th undergraduate GPA percentiles were 3.72 and 3.99, respectively, with a median of 3.94. The Class of 2026 consists of students from 40 states and the District of Columbia and from 144 undergraduate institutions. The age range was 20 to 34, with the average age of 24. 53.1% of the class was female, 46.6% male, and 36.1% identified themselves as people of color. 74% of the class had postgraduate experience.
The LL.M. Program admits around 40-50 students each year. It provides an American legal education to lawyers who have obtained their first law degree in their home countries; LL.M. candidates take classes alongside J.D. students, allowing participants to fully engage in the community and plan their own coursework The S.J.D. Program has about 8 candidates, and it is intended primarily for aspiring legal academics.
The total cost of attendance (indicating the cost of tuition, fees, and living expenses) for first-year law students at UVA Law for the 2024–2025 academic year is $105,334 for Virginia residents and $108,348 for nonresidents. Law School Transparency has estimated that the debt-financed cost of attendance for three years, based on data from the 2019–2020 academic year, is $304,672 for residents; the estimated cost for non-residents is $314,961.
UVA Law receives no funding from the state; instead, the school depends upon the generosity of private donors (bolstered by its over 50% alumni giving rate), its substantial endowment (US $ 555 million), the 5th largest among all law schools, and student tuition payments. In 1995–1997, UVA Law used entirely donated funds to renovate and expand its buildings on the university's North Grounds to include the former facilities of the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, which built a new campus several hundred yards away.
The Arthur J. Morris Law Library holds more than 820,000 volumes, including substantial collections of federal, state, and international documents, manuscripts, archives, and online research databases.
