The Student Bar Association is one of the best in the nation, which is a reflection of the close relationship between the students and the administration, who “make a clear effort to engage students on the decisions of the law school.” GW Law’s Dean is a “terrific fundraiser and cheerleader,” and even normally teaches a 1L Criminal Law class. The emphasis placed upon professors’ teaching abilities is reflected in the inclusion of a student panel on the Faculty Appointments Committee, where students’ views as reflected in their reports to the faculty are “given serious consideration during the appointment process.” It shows, too, as the professors at GW are first-rate; there are “so many ‘must-takes’ here that you are guaranteed a great professor (at least by reputation) for each major doctrinal course.” Indeed, GW Law professors are well-known locally and nationally, and “it’s not unusual to attend a professor’s class, and then later see him or her on the television that evening.” These superstars are approachable as well, and “you would be hard-pressed to go to a student function and not find a friendly face from the faculty and staff enjoying time away from the formal school setting and lending their wisdom and wit to the outside student life.” Classes mix theory and practice, placing an emphasis on didactic ability, and “there can be a little tough love involved” if needed. Each lecture “is an experience,” and while the Socratic Method is used, it is used “very gently, and tends to create more of an open discussion format than a fear-invoking grilling process.” However, students would like to see their torts class expanded to two semesters. The student culture and atmosphere at GW Law rounds out the experience, as “people actually like each other and enjoy a good conversation, whether studying or not.”
