Washington D.C. Trip – Part 4: Visiting The George Washington University Law School

​This Washington, D.C., visit included a tour of George Washington University Law School.
Passing through the campus' iconic gates, I toured Stuart Hall, the Law School buildings, and the Jacob Burns Moot Court, where students practice trial law, immersing myself in the school's history and academic atmosphere.

​Passing through George Washington University's iconic iron arch gate, a refreshing tree-lined path unfolded before me. As I walked along this path, I felt the calm air and academic atmosphere typical of a university campus, even in the heart of Washington, D.C.

​Stuart Hall, with its striking red brick exterior, exudes a sense of timelessness while also exuding a sense of solidity. Standing before its doors, I pictured countless students and scholars passing through over the years, building their knowledge.

​Standing before the sign reading "The George Washington University Law School," written in white letters on a blue background, I sensed that this was the starting point for those pursuing their dreams of becoming lawyers. Home to the Office of Admissions, the Office of Financial Aid, and the Student Support Center, this is also the gateway for incoming freshmen.

​The words "Jacob Burns Moot Court" are emblazoned in gold on the heavy wooden door. As expected of a place where courtroom practice and mock trials take place, standing before the door, my shoulders straightened involuntarily.

​Opening the door and stepping inside, the interior unfolds like a replica of an actual courtroom. Equipped with a judge's bench, attorneys' bench, and even a jury box, it provides a vivid environment for students to experience courtroom life. This classroom, simultaneously a stage, has undoubtedly been the setting for countless law students to practice their arguments and debates.

​The law school building, a harmonious blend of red brick and white stone, exudes a classic yet majestic presence. The white inscription at the entrance, engraved with "The George Washington University Law School," sparkles in the sunlight, seeming to symbolize the school's tradition and authority.

​My time in Washington, D.C. wasn't just a simple journey; it was a time to encounter history, scholarship, and the future.
​
My visit to George Washington University Law School allowed me to experience the passion and dreams of law students, and the depth of knowledge and culture felt throughout the city will remain in my memory for a long time.
