Arlington Campus Aerial ViewThe Arlington campus began in 1979 when the Virginia General Assembly established the George Mason University School of Law which located in the old Kann's department store in Virginia Square. The following year, the university established graduate and continuing education programs in the same building. In 1999, the School of Law relocated to a brand new building, a 240,000 square foot, state-of-the-art educational facility. The new law school building is the first of a three-phase plan designed to develop the 5.2 acre site.

Course offerings in Arlington focus on law, economics, and public policy. There are also three non-law academic and research centers located in the Law School building: James M. Buchanan Center, the Mercatus Center, and the Institute for Humane Studies. The Arlington Campus will continue to grow, bringing new graduate programs to serve the rapidly expanding  Northern Virginia high- tech corridor.
