Visit the Law School

Eck exterior bridge 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.
