Transcription
Georgetown University Law Center was founded in 1870 and its location allows students to be near the center of the federal government. With nearly 1,700 students, Georgetown has many opportunities for individuals to get involved on and off campus to help enhance their legal education. During their first year, Georgetown Law students must choose between two curriculum plans. Curriculum A is similar to programs at other law schools, with students taking courses in contracts, constitutional law, torts, property, criminal procedure and legal research and writing. Curriculum B covers a wider variety of topics, including classes like “Bargain, Exchange and Liability,” “Democracy and Coercion,” “Government Processes” and “Legal Process and Society.” About one-fifth of students decide to follow the Curriculum B path. All law students must complete a week-long seminar in international law between the fall and spring semesters. Georgetown law students have the opportunity to get hands-on training outside the classroom. There are more than 25 clinical courses offered through 15 clinics every year. Students also have access to more than 20 research centers and institutes. There is also a D.C. Street Law Clinic where students can teach members of the community about various aspects of the law. Individuals can participate in one of the 11 student-run law journals or the newspaper, the “Georgetown Law Weekly.” Georgetown has many extracurricular activities to offer as well, with dozens of organizations to choose from. The Georgetown Law community is a close one because of the specialized curriculum and the relationships students create with faculty members.

History of Georgetown law newspapers
The first newspaper at the Law Center was The Hoya, Law School Edition (1933–36). This was followed by Res Ipsa Loquitur, which started publishing in 1936. Res Ipsa Loquitur served as the student newspaper and alumni magazine until 1994, when it was replaced by the all-alumni publication Georgetown Law.
The Law Weekly began in 1966, and was originally part of the legal writing requirement program. Archives of these publications are available at the Edward Bennett Williams Law Library.
