Downtown Richmond is home to more courts than nearly every other city in the country – this means every level of state and federal court except for the Supreme Court of the United States! 

As the only law school within an hour, our law students enjoy a natural advantage in accessing the judiciary for both work and observation.

Here are just a few of the courts located in the heart of Downtown:

• United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
• United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia
• United States Bankruptcy Court
• Supreme Court of Virginia
• Court of Appeals of Virginia
• Richmond Circuit Court
• Richmond General District Court
• Richmond Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court
