Why UVA?

"The beauty of Virginia Law is it embraces diversity. The collegial atmosphere of the Law School is warm and welcoming to the many voices and life experiences that make this community strong. That serves students while they are here, and once they venture beyond Grounds."

--CORDEL FAULK ’01, FORMER DEAN OF ADMISSIONS

current student Perspective

"BLSA has offered a community where I can connect, grow, and be inspired by my peers. I feel supported by the community through social events that balance with academic guidance on the best ways to navigate law school. My favorite aspect about BLSA has to be the people. Books can be anywhere, and we can learn lessons in different spaces, but this community is unique to UVA. Nowhere else can this unique group of individuals, who are best to laugh with, study with, and grow with."

--Andrew Pierce, '28 (BLSA Member)

Alumni PerspectiveS

"Virginia Law is the most fantastic place that you could consider studying the law. It is no surprise that whenever I speak to UVA Law alumni, they always smile and reflect nostalgically on their time at UVA. Any UVA Law School student or alumnus can attest to the inviting and intellectually stimulating environment that this law school offers. One rarely finds such a combination, and I have been fortunate to have spent three great years in a place where the students and faculty work hard to maintain a collegial community."

"UVA Law is about making sure the most dynamic students fit with the culture. UVA is about honor, it is about working hard and playing hard. Maintaining that culture seems just as important as maintaining its ranking. You're already smart. Go the extra mile and show that you would be a great fit here. But being a good fit doesn't mean that you have to be a cookie-cutter law school applicant. Emphasize your differences, not just your similarities. Be unapologetically yourself."
