Dear Class of 2020,

Welcome to the Emory Law community! We are delighted that you are here for our annual Visiting Day weekend. I hope you spend this weekend learning about all of the resources and benefits our students enjoy while preparing for their legal careers. We invite you to explore the campus, meet the Emory Law community, and, most importantly, ask questions. This weekend is your time to leave no stone unturned.

We constantly work to ensure our students have the best experience possible and are well prepared for a fulfilling career in a profession rooted in service and devoted to the pursuit of justice. We are committed to enhancing professional opportunities for our students through expanded connections with our alumni across the country, as well as through enhanced career planning resources.

Emory Law is about much more than a great classroom experience. From intramural sports teams to world-class cultural centers for art, theater, and musical entertainment, our students have much to explore on Emory’s campus and in Atlanta.

Emory University has played host to renowned visitors, such as the Dalai Lama, Salman Rushdie, and Alice Walker. Emory Law students have organized events and conferences featuring Nobel laureates, politicians, and distinguished legal scholars. Emory Law also hosts numerous symposia, with subjects ranging from environmental law and economics to human trafficking to international terrorism.

We work every day to provide our students with a deep knowledge of the law and a set of valuable skills to prepare them for practice. We challenge our students to apply their knowledge, as both lawyers and citizens of the world.

I look forward to meeting you this weekend.

Regards,

Robert A. SchapiroDean and Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Law

Studying Law in Atlanta

Emory, an internationally respected universityEmory University is recognized as one of the world’s leading institutions of learning, combining nine undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools with the largest healthcare system and sponsored research base of any university in Georgia. Emory maintains active partnership with many of the city’s preeminent institutions, such as The Carter Center, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Georgia Institute of Technology.

Emory has been recognized for its commitment to maintaining sustainability as one of its top priorities. In 2013, the university was named the nation’s top “Higher Education Institution” by the US Green Building Council’s Center for Green Schools in its “Best of Green Schools” report.

As a law student, you will be able to take advantage of state-of-the-art university fitness and aquatic facilities, which are conveniently located on both the Clifton Road and Clairmont campuses.

Atlanta, a global city with Southern charmWith a population of more than 5 million people, the Southeast’s largest city provides countless opportunities for legal networking, externships, and summer jobs. Metro Atlanta ranks third in the US for the number of Fortune 500 company headquarters, and the regional offices of nearly every federal agency—including the Securities and Exchange Commission and Environmental Protection Agency—are nearby.

Atlanta is a great place to live. With a temperate climate and renowned Southern hospitality, Atlanta offers a warm welcome for everyone. Catch a Braves or Falcons game; visit the High Museum of Art or Georgia Aquarium; go strolling, running, or cycling through Piedmont Park or Atlanta’s lovely, tree-lined neighborhoods; get tickets for the award-winning Atlanta Symphony Orchestra; or listen to the latest indie-rock band playing at Eddie’s Attic. There is a range of restaurants for the most, and least, discriminating foodies—f rom exclusive Buckhead bistros, to dim sum on Buford Highway, to Southern style barbecue just down the street.

“In less than five years from my graduation from Emory, I was working as in-house counsel for the Atlanta NBA and NHL teams—the Atlanta Hawks and Atlanta Thrashers. Now, I am with AMB Group, the parent company for the Atlanta Falcons, the new MLS Team, Atlanta United FC and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. I have also spent the past nine years sharing my experiences as an adjunct professor of sports law at Emory Law. I look forward to seeing you in my class!”

Experiential and Practical, Hands-On Learning

Emory Law has countless opportunities to experience law in action. We empower students to discern their legal path right from the start of their legal education, from a first-year elective that explores an area of possible legal interest to a wide range of clinics, simulation programs, and externships that guide students in finding their legal voice.

Clinics Emory Law clinics offer curriculum-based, real-world experience through direct client service in a range of settings under the direct supervision of law school faculty. Each clinic’s docket is designed to fully immerse students in all aspects of the legal process.

• Barton Policy and Legislative Clinics • Barton Juvenile Defender Clinic • Barton Appeal for Youth Clinic • International Humanitarian Law Clinic • Turner Environmental Law Clinic • Volunteer Clinic for Veterans*

Externships Externships are an integral part of the Emory Law experience, taking the skills and principles you learn in the classroom and applying them in practice. Our externship program places more than 150 students per semester with more than 120 government agencies, public interest organizations, courts, companies, and small law firms. Under the supervision of an attorney, you will hone real-world skills, including research, writing, advocacy, interviewing, counseling, litigation, and case investigation.

TI:GER® The Technological Innovation: Generating Economic Results (TI:GER®) Program is a partnership between two world-class institutions—Emory and Georgia Tech—that unites law, business, science, and engineering students in learning to take innovative ideas from the lab to the marketplace.

Transactional Law and Skills Certificate Program Emory Law’s robust Transactional Law and Skills Certificate curriculum is the gold standard for transactional law education, preparing students to add value to a transaction from day one on the job.

Trial Techniques The Kessler-Eidson Program for Trial Techniques immerses you in “learn-by-doing” oral advocacy, connecting you with nationally recognized trial lawyers, judges, and professors as you learn—and experience—the mechanics of litigating a case.

Experiential LearningThe American Bar Association accretitation standards now require law students graduating May 2019 or later to complete at least one or more experiential courses totaling at least six credit hours. For more information about the experiential learning requirements at Emory Law, visit law.emory.edu/experiential-learning.

Supreme Court Advocacy Program The David J. Bederman Emory Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Program (ELSSCAP) is the only student-run Supreme Court litigation program in the United States. Students work under the guidance of experienced litigators as they handle all aspects of ELSSCAP’s work, which includes producing persuasive petitions for certiorari and amicus briefs for the Supreme Court.

Moot Court and Mock Trial Societies Fortify your skills in trial advocacy through the Emory Mock Trial Society, which will help fine-tune your litigation skills through competitions. Develop a knack for brief writing and oral advocacy through the Emory Moot Court Society, which will help you become an effective appellate advocate.
