Northern Virginia Law School

Northern Virginia Law School at 4105 Duke Street, in Alexandria, Virginia

Northern Virginia Law School was a law school in northern Virginia from the 1980s to the 1990s.[1] It was last located at 4105 Duke Street, in Alexandria, Virginia,[2] and was founded by Dean Alfred Avins, J.S.D., Ph.D.[3] It had degree granting authority accreditation from the Virginia Council of Higher Education to confer the Juris Doctor degree[4] and for a limited time its graduates were permitted to sit for the Virginia Bar Exam. Primarily a weekend law school,[5] it was founded as the District of Columbia Law School[6][7][8][9][10] in the late 1970s, holding classes in the historic Colorado Building, 1341 G Street N.W. in Washington DC, before its move to Virginia in 1980.[11][12] It housed the Dean Alfred Avins Law Library, an extensive book collection of the dean that contained over 45,000 legal volumes,[13] but had to close after unsuccessful attempts at obtaining full and permanent accreditation.[14][15]
