Visiting the Law School
What better way to experience life as a law student at the University of Washington School of Law
than to visit us at William H. Gates Hall. We invite you to take a tour of the building, visit and observe a law
school class, meet with the Office of Admissions & Financial Aid staff, and get
a real taste of law student life by spending time with our Student Ambassadors.
Planning and Scheduling Your Visit
Visits and tours are scheduled through the Office of Admissions &
Financial Aid during regular business hours (weekdays from 9am to 5pm).
We recommend planning your visit around
lunchtime during the academic year when classes are in session. We offer guided tours at 12:30pm, and the opportunity to visit a class- either before or
after the guided tour. The guided tour is given during the students' lunch hour
when
various student organization meetings, guest speakers, and workshops are hosted
throughout the quarter. Hence, you will get a sense of our active law school
community as we walk around the building and Marian Gould
Gallagher Law Library during the tour.
To schedule your visit and guided tour, please submit a
Visit Request Form.

Building Tours
Guided Tours: We offer guided tours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 12:30pm.
Guided tours are by appointment only, scheduled at least a week in advance by submitting a
Visit Request Form, and last approximately thirty (30) minutes.
Self-Guided Tours: Visitors who wish to tour the building
on their own may pick up a Self-Guided Tour booklet at the Office of Admissions
& Financial Aid, Room 231, during regular business hours.
Visit a Law School Class
Class Visitor Conduct: Please arrive early, take an available
seat in the back of the class, and be sure to silence your cell phones. To avoid
disrupting the learning process, please plan to attend the entire class. If the
professor offers a break, you may choose to leave at that time. Feel free to
introduce yourself to the professor, but please do so at the end
of class.
