Early in her career, Dean Liz Magill spent several years living and working on Capitol Hill as a congressional staffer and later clerked at the U.S. Supreme Court. Now back in Washington, she revisited a few familiar spots just blocks from the Georgetown Law campus.

“Washington is the city for me,” she said. “It still feels like home even though I lived here long ago.”

Shoutout to Georgetown Law Softball with the cameo! 🥎

More than 200 of the 300 students participating this year in Georgetown Law’s 17 legal clinics pledged to uphold the highest levels of honesty, integrity and professional conduct at Georgetown Law’s third annual student attorney oath ceremony.

The ceremony, presided over by Judge Loren AliKhan, L’06, of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, highlighted the students’ new roles as student lawyers tackling a wide range of legal issues, from policy work and transactional law to civil and criminal litigation, while advocating “competently, zealously and diligently” on behalf of their clients.

"The law school's motto is that law is but the means, and justice is the end," said Dean M. Elizabeth Magill in her welcome remarks. “That principle … is going to be at the center of the work that you will be doing in the clinics this year. That work is serving justice in whatever clinic you’re in."
