 Visit
Mercer’s esteemed reputation and close-knit
academic community draws students here. But it is usually what they
see and feel during their visit that keeps them here. Considering
that law school will be an investment of money, time, and focus,
we strongly encourage you to visit our beautiful campus in the historic
and charming community of Macon,
Georgia.
A Practical Elegance
On the outside, the Walter F. George building is steeped in history
and tradition. On the inside, you will find only the most contemporary
classrooms and facilities. From
wired classrooms, to one of the nation’s finest moot courtrooms,
to ample study and office space for students and their numerous
organizations, to the widely acclaimed Furman
Smith Law Library—Mercer’s deep historical roots
grow stronger every day through keeping a sharp focus on the future
of legal practice.
