The University of Virginia School of Law, founded by
Thomas Jefferson in 1819, is a world‑renowned training ground for
distinguished lawyers and public servants and an integral part of a great
university. One of Jefferson's eight original faculties, the Law School
advances Jefferson's belief that lawyers
should be educated to promote the ideals of leadership, integrity, and
community service in their practice.
The Law School is located in Charlottesville,
Virginia, a picturesque and thriving
metropolitan community located about two hours southwest of Washington, D.C.
The Law School's 1,100 students gain an
appreciation of the power of law to shape human behavior and to influence our
political, social, and cultural experience. Virginia is widely recognized for the
collegial environment it affords both students and faculty, and student
satisfaction is consistently cited as among the highest in American law
schools. Students subscribe to the Universityof Virginia's student‑run
honor system, in place for more than 160 years, which enables law students to
enjoy the kind of personal freedom that is possible only in an environment
where mutual respect and trust exist.
The LawSchool's faculty includes
75 full‑time professors and more than 100 adjunct faculty members. A
combination of seasoned experts and promising young teachers and scholars,
faculty members have written dozens of casebooks and scholarly works now used
in law schools across the country. Faculty members are committed to teaching,
offering approximately 230 courses and 200 seminars each academic year. One of
the newest curricular innovations is the Mary Morton Parsons Seminars in
Ethical Values. Using readings from literature old and new, these seminars
offer Virginia students an opportunity to enhance their understanding of
ethical issues by bridging the gap between the rules of professional conduct
enforced by the organized bar and the broader ethical and moral concerns that
confront lawyers as citizens.
The LawSchool has one of the
most successful career services programs in the country. Approximately 96
percent of the school's graduates generally accept employment offers before
graduation. Members of the class of 2006 accepted 61 judicial clerkships; in virtually
every year in recent history at least one member of the graduating class has
secured a clerkship with a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
The Law School's Mortimer
M. Caplin
Public Service
Center offers career support to
students seeking public interest jobs, coordinates student pro bono activities,
and serves as an information hub for all Law School
public service programs and activities. The center also administers the Law School's
public service loan assistance program, which provides grants to graduates who
choose to work in public interest law.
The Arthur J. Morris Library, the tenth largest law
library in the country, owns 900,000 volumes as well as substantial collections
of federal, state, and international documents, manuscripts, and archives.
The LawSchool has more than 60
student organizations, including nine student‑edited scholarly journals,
Moot Court, a weekly newspaper, various groups organized around major areas of
law, service organizations, student government, and social fraternities.
The LawSchool is home to four
internationally known special programs. The Institute of Law,
Psychiatry, and Public Policy offers a multi‑disciplinary training,
educational, research, and service program in the areas of forensic psychiatry,
forensic psychology, and mental health law. The John M. Olin Program in Law and
Economics supports research and provides a forum for discussion and debate
relating to the economic analysis of legal issues. The Center for Oceans Law
and Policy seeks to promote rational choices for managing the future of the
oceans, coastal, and polar areas through teaching, research, and the
dissemination of information. The Center for National Security Law promotes advanced
interdisciplinary research, non‑partisan scholarship, and education about
the legal aspects of national security issues.
