Why W&L Law

Each year, we ask our incoming students to reflect on their law school search and what ultimately led them to W&L Law. Hear their stories below.


"The alumni come back, they want to talk to the current students. I think that says a lot about the school - when people who are no longer here give back, they do it because they want to. That shows what kind of school you're going to." -- Rashanna Butler
"For a student with a family, one might find yourself concerned with the family being pushed to the side of the experience of Law School, and that hasn't been the case here in Lexington." -- Matt Dare
"Look at the student to teacher ratio, because that is a big part. When talking about institutions and how available faculty are to you, that goes a long way to helping you get an education." -- Dami Lawal
"When I came to campus, and got to talk to students and hear about their experiences... there was just no doubt in my mind that it would be a fantastic opportunity to come over here. Really glad that I made that decision." -- Emily Kendall
