Directions to Yale Law School

Yale Law School occupies the block bounded by Grove, York, Wall, and High Streets at the heart of the Yale campus in downtown New Haven.

Trains run regularly to New Haven from New York City (Amtrak, Metro North) and from Hartford and Boston (Amtrak). Commuter airlines provide connections to Tweed-New Haven Airport from many U.S. cities. Yale Law School is a short taxi ride from either the train station or the airport. Alternatively, visitors may use the Bradley Airport (Hartford, CT), located about an hour away. Connecticut Limo, with terminals located in the airport, offers shuttle service to Yale at a price of approximately $50 round trip. Contact 1-800-472-LIMO. Although both are farther away than Hartford, conference participants may also fly into JFK or LGA in New York, from which they can take Connecticut Limo as well.

To reach Yale Law School by car, take Exit 3 off I-91 (from North or South). The exit ramp becomes Trumbull Street. Follow Trumbull Street to the end (at the fourth light - Prospect Street). Turn left on Prospect Street. Take the first right (at the stoplight) onto Grove Street. The Law School is in the second block on your left. Metered parking is available on Grove Street and on other streets in the vicinity; the main entrance to the Law School (127 Wall Street) is a short walk away at the corner of Wall and High Streets.
