Due to ongoing concerns about the COVID-19 outbreak, we are currently not allowed to have visits to campus.
Located in New Haven, Connecticut, just 1.5 hours from New York City and 3 hours from Boston, Yale Law School welcomes visitors to our campus, especially prospective students. You will find the Law School in the Sterling Law Building on the 410-acre Yale campus, with its impressive neo-gothic architecture, extensive athletic and recreational facilities, and 26 libraries.
Downtown New Haven is also a short walkable block away, and offers restaurants, shops, bookstores, and a lively night life. To learn more about the city, visit Living in New Haven.
Yale Law School is at the heart of the city of New Haven—a lively, small urban center between New York City and Boston.
