The changing face of Emory Law
Over the past 100 years, Emory Law has experienced myriad transformations. The school has gone from an incoming class of 28 in 1916 to an incoming class of 261 in 2016 (degree- seeking JD students). A once-homogenous student body now includes a population that more closely mirrors the world, with its variety of ethnicities, diversity of experiences and backgrounds, and range of political and social viewpoints.
Alongside these metamorphoses has been a change in the facilities that house the school, as well - and this is one area that will likely continue to evolve throughout the life of the law school, as the leadership attempts to meet the space needs of a growing cadre of legal scholars and learners.
