Admissions

“You can lean on [peers and professors] when times are tough, so it’s important to give back to the community when you can.”

“Around every corner here, you’ll find people who want to cheer you on. Law school is hard, but it’s a lot easier when you’re surrounded by people who want you to succeed, and equally want you to be happy.”

“Law school has, for the better, completely reshaped the way I think about the world, simultaneously making me a more cautious, critical thinker while further deepening my sense of empathy.”

“Thanks to UVA Law, I feel ready to dedicate myself to upholding the rule of law in NYC as a prosecutor.”

“I have not only become more confident in my abilities, but I have also learned to be curious and always ask questions.”

“I spent my 2L summer with the Department of Labor’s New York Regional Solicitor’s Office and loved it. I got to see and be involved with the wide range of work that regional DOL offices take on, from wage and hour, to health and safety, to employee benefits work.”

“I won’t lie, law school is stressful. You will lose sleep, dry out hundreds of highlighters, and stress-eat thousands of free popcorn and goldfish snacks from Student Affairs. But at UVA Law, you’ll be facing those challenges with a built-in family and team.”
