Regalia

While regalia is not required to participate in any of the Georgetown Law Commencement events, many graduates choose to wear the attire. The Law Center’s regalia consists of a blue gown with velvet bands, a hood, and a six-pointed velvet tam with a purple tassel, signifying the study of law.
