About
Washington College of Law (WCL) was founded in 1896 by two pioneering women, Ellen Spencer Mussey and Emma Gillett, at a time when women were traditionally excluded from the legal profession. The school offers both full and part time programs leading to J.D., LL.M., and S.J.D. degrees, and is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. The school moved into a new, state-of-the-art facility in January 1996.
