2020 Commencement

Celebrating the Class of 2020

American University Washington College of Law is proud to virtually celebrate the Spring 2020 class, which includes 364 Juris Doctor (JD) graduates; 26 Master of Laws (LL.M.) graduates; and three Doctor of Juridical Science (SJD) graduates. We also recognize the 27 JD, 33 LL.M., and five SJD graduates that graduated in August and December 2019. Thirteen Masters of Legal Studies (MLS) students will formally graduate at the end of the program’s September term.

“Congratulations to the Class of 2020. While you are entering the legal profession in the midst of this unprecedented time in history, please know that the arc of your career is a long one,” said Dean Camille Nelson. “You will emerge even stronger, even more resilient, and even more fortified in your passions and your pursuits. Please stay safe and strong – we wish you all the very best, now and always. And remember through it all, the WCL community will forever be part of your family, and ready to support you."
