American University Washington College of Law

At American University Washington College of Law we dedicate our efforts every year to building on past achievements and creating new opportunities for our students while remaining focused on our commitment to engage the world, the nation, and the community through legal education. Ours is a law school founded on real life challenges-a law school that is devoted to preparing future generations of lawyers for the realities of those challenges.

Our students benefit from externships with governmental and nongovernmental institutions around the world; our renowned programs in clinical education, intellectual property, human rights, government, business, and environmental law; and from a dedicated faculty. Many students participate in one of our eight journals and publications. Most of all, WCL students benefit by being part of a diverse and proactive student body, constantly seeking fresh challenges and creating new opportunities through WCL's rich and exciting wealth of student organizations.
