Description
Georgetown University's Law Department opened in 1870 with twenty-five students, including one from Cuba, and a faculty of six. Tuition was $50 per year. Initially a two-year evening school, most of the students worked by day in government agencies. In 1898, course work for the Bachelor of Laws degree was expanded to three years, a change that was made well ahead of most law schools in the country. Early lectures were held in rented space at the American Colonization Building on Pennsylvania Avenue, site of the present East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, but the school would change location five times until it settled in its current home on New Jersey Avenue in 1971.
