GMU School of Law
In 1972, Dean John W. Brabner-Smith founded the International School of Law in Washington, D.C. The school later moved to Arlington, Virginia, where it became George Mason University School of Law in 1979 by act of the Virginia General Assembly. The law school is accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS).
During the past decade, the law school has been in the forefront of curricular innovation. Recognizing the rapid changes that are occurring in legal practice and the legal profession, George Mason has been a pioneer in providing its students with three core competencies that are often neglected at more traditional institutions: the legal application of economic tools and methods, intensive development of legal writing skills, and specialized substantive preparation for practice. Our intellectual property law curriculum has gained national recognition. Our unique curriculum gives our students correspondingly unique advantages in today's competitive employment market.
