Washington and Lee University Reviews of Doctorates in Law

"It's not a directly competitive environment like a lot of law schools are, but it's certainly a competitive atmosphere in terms of what law school essentially must be. It's a very cordial environment that is great for the 1L experience. Campus safety is fairly low because of the recent textbook thefts."

"One of the best places I have ever studied. A diamond in the rough"

"The school truly wants everyone to succeed. The more you take advantage of, the more you will get out of it. It's in the middle of nowhere but that's good for focusing on school."

"It is an excellent education but in order to fully utilize it, one must seek out assistance in the areas of his/her interest. Certain teachers are very invested in seeing their students succeed."

"Small school, tight knit community. Alumni network is extremely strong. Professors are some of the best in their field. Facilities are really nice."

"W&L is very isolated from the real world, but it is a great place to go to law school if you don't want distractions."
