Dear First Name,
It is August, which means Orientation is just around the corner! We are excited to welcome you and wanted to share a few additional resources and important reminders to help you prepare.
Incoming Student Checklist
This page includes important checklist items to help you prepare for the start of the semester. Be sure to complete each item and check back regularly for updates.
Orientation Schedule
This year, we’re excited to offer the GW Law Orientation App! The app includes the full Orientation schedule, event information, campus maps, helpful resources, and real-time updates throughout Orientation. Please take some time to review the schedule and familiarize yourself with the app before arriving on campus.
Please note that the Orientation schedule is subject to change before you arrive on campus. Any updates will be reflected in the app, so we encourage you to check it regularly before and during Orientation.

We ask that as you make your account that you use your “@law.gwu.edu” email address.
Required Orientation Reading
This year we are asking incoming students to read Just Mercy by Brian Stevenson before the start of orientation. In addition to discussing the book during orientation, you will also use the text for your Fundamentals of Lawyering class.
Mock Class Reading
A professor will lead a mock class during orientation in order to help you understand the classroom environment and how to prepare for class. Please be sure to have read your respective case - specified by Inn - below prior to the session.
Accommodations
We look forward to welcoming you to GW Law soon!
The Dean of Students Office
