Welcome to Emory Law! All events for Orientation are listed below. Please email jdadmission@emory.edu if you have any questions. 

  • Attendance: All sessions are in-person and required.
  • Attire: We recommend dressing in business casual attire for Orientation (i.e. no jeans, shorts, loungewear, or flip flops). However, please wear professional attire on Thursday for your scheduled headshots and the Professionalism program.
  • Parking: Complimentary parking is available in the Lowergate South/Gambrell parking deck directly behind the law school. You will be emailed a QR code ahead of Orientation that will grant you access to the parking deck. This pass will let you into the Lowergate South/Gambrell parking deck only for the week of Orientation.
  • SAP-G- Sexual Assault Prevention (SAP-G) is a mandatory virtual training that all students must complete. This training will not be available during Orientation, but you will receive emails about it during the semester. Please complete this mandatory training once you receive it.
