If you haven't already secured your seat in our incoming class, don't wait any longer.
You don't need to wait until next fall to see what it's like to be an RWU Law student. We invite you to start with our quick virtual tours and to sit in on a 1L class:
Tour RWU Law
We put together a quick tour of the law school to make sure you have the chance to meet some of the staff and administrators that you will interact with if you decide to join our community.
Tour Bristol, RI
You’ve never been to Bristol, RI? No problem – here’s a quick tour of our seaside hometown.
Sit in on a 1L Torts Class
We know that many of you have not had the opportunity to sit in on a law school class – feel free to visit a pre-recorded first-year class with Professor David Logan.
Your new law school community includes students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds and stretches from Bristol to Providence to Newport and beyond. Whether you have questions about where to live or where to find the best study spot - we've got you covered: check out Life @ RWU or reach out to one of our Student Ambassadors to find out what life is really like here at RWU Law!
Beginning on February 4th, we invite all admitted students to the RWU Law Class of 2024 to join us on Thursdays from 2-3 p.m. (EST). A member of our Admissions team will be available to answer your questions and chat with you about our community. We look forward to meeting you! Join here.
We've created an exclusive Facebook Group for our first-year law students - the Class of 2024! Connect with future classmates, ask questions, and learn about upcoming special events in this private community. Join today!
Questions about how you will be able to finance your legal education? We have two dedicated financial aid counselors to help you through the process! Follow their comprehensive Financial Aid Checklist and if you have any specific questions reach out to them directly:
Law Students with Last Name A-K: Kathryn Politano, Assistant Director of Financial Aid
Law Students with Last Name L-Z: Tina Bacon, Assistant Director of Financial Aid
The RWU Law community extends from Providence to Bristol and includes a vibrant campus community. In the coming weeks, we will send more information on different ways you can continue to experience our community and build connections with our students, faculty, and staff.
Look for information in your email, or check back here for updates on panels for admitted students, connecting with your classmates, and future opportunities for in-person visits (health and safety regulations permitting)!

“RWU Law has all of the elements to succeed as an innovative, modern law school — dedicated staff and faculty, a clear sense of mission, and an opportunity to collaborate with other parts of the university. I am excited about what we are doing.”
