Georgetown Law Offers Tuition Discounts to Affected Federal Lawyers

Georgetown Law Dean William M. Treanor announced on April 22 that the Law Center would offer tuition discounts on select LL.M. degrees  and continuing education programs to current or recently separated government lawyers.

In a message to the Georgetown Law community, Treanor wrote, “The recent federal actions affecting government employees have created uncertainty and disruption for many individuals in our region and across the government. In March, Interim President Groves shared a message with the Georgetown community highlighting resources for recently separated federal workers, which includes career counseling seminars, scholarships, and professional development opportunities.

“As part of this larger institutional effort, and to help affected federal lawyers, I am pleased to announce that Georgetown Law will also offer support to government lawyers affected by recent federal job reductions.”

The offerings include:

A substantially reduced LL.M. tuition rate of 50% to lawyers who have a J.D. from a U.S.-accredited law school who have recently left government service. The reduced tuition rate applies to the following LL.M. degree programs:

LL.M. in Environmental & Energy Law
LL.M. in International Business & Economic Law
LL.M. in National & Global Health Law
LL.M. in National Security Law
LL.M. in Taxation
LL.M. in Technology Law & Policy

The Georgetown Law Office of Executive and Continuing Legal Education (OECLE) is also reducing fees for a variety of its executive and continuing legal education opportunities for those affected by federal reductions in force and grant cancellations.

Upcoming OECLE events include the 2025 Conference on Representing & Managing Tax-Exempt Organizations (TEO) in downtown Washington, DC, which will also be offered on-demand starting in early May. Apply for the TEO Scholarship here.

Additionally, the annual Hotel and Lodging Legal Summit will be held on the Law Center campus on October 16-17 (apply for the HLLS Scholarship here), followed by the Advanced EDiscovery Institute in November.

Interested attendees at all OECLE academic conferences are eligible to apply for discounted registration through the respective event’s scholarship application.
