Welcome to Emory Law! All events for Orientation are listed below. Please email llmadmission@emory.edu if you have any questions.
Please note:
- Attendance: All sessions are in-person and required.
- Attire: Emory Law is a comfortable and welcoming community. Our students typically dress casually for class, and comfortable attire and shoes are appropriate for in-person attendance. However, please wear professional attire on Thursday for your scheduled headshots and the Professionalism program.
- Parking: Complimentary parking is available in the Lowergate South/Gambrell parking deck directly behind the law school. Please hang the parking pass provided to you by parking and hang it on your rearview mirror. This pass will let you into the Lowergate South/Gambrell parking deck only for the week of Orientation.
