Visiting the Law School

At UVA Law, we believe that a thriving community is essential to success. We welcome you to take advantage of the opportunities to see our Grounds and engage with our community through class visits, tours and information sessions. 

We are located on North Grounds, approximately one mile from the heart of UVA’s main Grounds.

Plan Your Visit

Admissions visits have concluded for the academic year. Please check back in late August for the fall schedule of tours, class visits, student panels, and Admissions Q&As.

Self-guided tours are available during regular business hours when the Law School is open to the public. All visitors are required to sign in at the Admissions Office. Please note that admissions officers are not available to meet with visitors. For questions about the application process, please review our FAQs page.

Getting to the Law School

The Grounds

The David A. Harrison III Law Grounds reflect a recent $46 million expansion and renovation project funded entirely by private support from alumni and friends. The Law Grounds feature new classrooms, seminar rooms, and moot courtrooms; comprehensive computer facilities; an expanded library with a three-story reading room; new dining facilities; attractive offices for student organizations; and numerous student lounges. Surrounded by inviting gardens and an elegant, tree-lined lawn, the setting reflects Jefferson’s conviction that locating an intellectual community within a beautiful environment fosters learning and personal growth.

Law Library Tours

Law library tours are available to classes and other student groups, including those outside the Law School who need access to legal materials. Librarians can provide general orientation tours or explain specialized areas of the collection. Contact the Circulation Desk (434-924-3384 or @email) to arrange a tour of the library.

Virtual Tours

For those applicants unable to visit us in person, we have created a number of video tours to introduce you to life at UVA Law and the greater Charlottesville community.
