Dean's Message

Welcome to Mercer University’s Walter F. George School of Law. Choosing a law school is a difficult, but significant, decision for your future. I urge you to consider the kind of community you want to join: what law school offers the best fit for you and what you care about?

At Mercer, you’ll find a close working relationship between faculty, students, and staff, united in a common goal.

You’ll find the innovative Woodruff Curriculum that provides the intellectual depth and essential skills for practicing law.

You’ll find rich ethics discussions that infuse all three years of study, and a collaborative, supportive environment.

You’ll find an accessible faculty who excel at legal scholarship and at teaching, and who mentor students in and out of the classroom.

You’ll find an interesting and diverse student body of approximately 420, whose small size reflects a commitment to individual attention.

You’ll find strong ties to the bench and bar, and an alumni base that includes leaders of the profession, the nation, and the world.

You’ll find all of this in a building that blends historic beauty with contemporary technology and resources, located in a beautiful, affordable city just a short drive from the beach, the mountains, and the city of Atlanta.

At Mercer we believe that becoming a lawyer is a journey toward discovering your calling, and that being a lawyer is a path to personal fulfillment and service to others.

We invite you to become part of our community.
