Location

Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School is located at 1422 West Peachtree Street in the heart of Atlanta’s Midtown district at the junction of two major interstate highways.

The facilities of the school have recently undergone a major renovation with the construction of new classrooms and a new trial and appellate courtroom, all of which are equipped with the latest in audio-visual technology, as well as a substantial expansion in space allocated to the law library. All are located in one building to provide convenient access to students. The building is fully accessible to those with special needs.

In addition to the newly renovated areas of the law school is a 16,500 square-foot state-of-the-art conference center designed to bolster educational opportunities for the law school and legal community.
