Facilities
At Mercer, you will find a law school that is
self-contained in a beautiful, three-story building that was designed
as a reproduction of Independence Hall. Inside, the law school houses the latest technology, as well as updated areas, including a newly renovated student lounge. Learn more about the environmental considerations implemented in the renovation process.
A Picturesque Setting
The Walter F. George School of Law building sits atop Coleman Hill,
overlooking downtown Macon. It is a picturesque icon of Mercer’s
rich tradition as one of America’s oldest law schools. As
a student here, you will take advantage of the facilities and amenities
provided not only by the School of Law, but by Mercer
University as well, located a short walk up College Street.
Contemporary Resources
The Furman Smith Law Library is
utilized by lawyers and judges across Georgia and features computer
labs, multimedia outlets, private study carrels, and more than 80
network drops for laptop connections. Additionally, the building
features wired classrooms, student office space, and one of the
nation’s finest moot courtrooms.
