List of Georgetown University Law Center alumni

The Georgetown University Law Center is the law school of Georgetown University in the Capitol Hill district of Washington, D.C. Established in 1870, it is the second largest law school in the United States[1] and receives more full-time applications than any other law school in the country.[2]

The oldest Jesuit law school in the United States,[3] Georgetown Law is one of the "T14" law schools, that is, schools that have consistently ranked within the top 14 law schools since U.S. News & World Report began publishing rankings.
