150 Years of Making History

The 2015-2016 school year marked the 150th anniversary of GW Law’s founding in 1865.

The law school has changed since its early days as a tiny, homogenous institution offering a sprinkling of classes at the site of the old Trinity Church. Today, GW Law constitutes one of the largest, most renowned, and diverse members of the legal academy. We have an exciting slate of activities planned to mark this milestone in GW Law’s history.
