Visit the Law School
Visiting campus is the ultimate way to get a sense of the distinctive qualities of the University of Notre Dame and its Law School. The Admissions Office coordinates several programs annually so that you can do just that.
If you have never been on campus before, we encourage visitors to enjoy a tour of campus, including a visit to the Snite Museum of Art or the famed Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Of course, the Hammes Bookstore is another favorite place to browse through a rich selection of books or pick up a Notre Dame keepsake.
When planning an overnight visit, we recommend staying at The Morris Inn, just across the street from the Law School, when you visit campus. Other options include the Inn at Saint Mary’s, which is just a mile or so from the ND Law Building.
Click here for additional suggestions for overnight accommodations. There is also a list of other hotels, motels, and Bed and Breakfasts available to visitors on the South Bend Chamber of Commerce Web site.

The Law Building (#1027 on the map of campus) is accessible via Notre Dame Avenue, with the most proximate parking being the Visitor Lot near the corner of Eddy and Edison Streets behind Legend’s Restaurant. You may reach this parking lot by traveling north on Notre Dame Avenue, turn right (east) at the first drive (on the north side of DeBartolo Center for Performing Arts), at the second stop sign go straight across Eddy and turn right (south) into the Visitors Parking Lot. Please note that you will need to push the red button at the entrance in order to raise the gate for this Visitor Lot. We will provide a parking coupon so you can exit the lot at the end of the day. If this lot is full (designated by a lighted “full” sign), you may park in the C-1 Parking Lot (south of the Joyce Athletic/Convocation Center.) The Law School is located to the right of the circular drive and just north and east of the Morris Inn.
