BU Law School Visits & Tours

JD Applicants

To learn more about what life is like here at BU Law, we invite you to visit the school. During the academic year, we offer tours of the Law School led by current JD students. When classes are not in session, tours may be led by current students or JD Admissions staff members. Please visit our Tour Calendar to view upcoming tours and to reserve your place in a tour group. Reservations are recommended but we may be able to accommodate walk-in visitors if necessary. Tour groups will meet in the JD Admissions Office located on the twelfth floor of the Law School Tower (765 Commonwealth Avenue). Our last guided tour for the semester will be on April 25, 2017. If you are interested in visiting us over the summer, please email bulawadm@bu.edu to arrange an appointment.

Visiting the Boston area but not able to attend a scheduled tour? If a guided tour time is not convenient for your visit, the building is open to the public and we encourage you to visit the JD Admissions Office between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, to pick up a self-guided tour packet.

Effective Friday, May 26, the Law School will be closed on the weekends. This schedule will continue throughout the summer. The doors will be locked on Fridays at 8:00 PM and reopen on Mondays at 7:00 AM.  The one exception is Memorial Day weekend when the building will reopen on Tuesday morning, May 30, at 7:00 AM.  The building will also be closed on the July 4^th holiday.

Beginning July 27th and continuing through August 14th, the Eastbound side of Commonwealth Avenue along with Green Line MBTA area will under go construction as part of the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Reconstruction Project. This may impact your commute to the School of Law. Please review the Detours & Directions page when making your plans.
