GENERAL STATEMENT The Law School was established as a part of Richmond Coll ege in 1870. In 1890 the family of the late Mr. T. C. Williams, who had been a devoted and useful trustee, donated $25,000 as the nucleus of an endowment for the Law School. In recognition of this gift, the name of the School was changed to THE T. C. WILLIAMS SCHOOL OF LAW. At various times the School has received further generous gifts from members of the family of Mr. Williams. A substantial gift came through a bequest from Mr. T. C. Williams, J r., who, like his father, was long a trustee of Richmond College, and for twenty years was the efficient chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board. The largest of these gifts was recently received by bequest from Mr. A. D. Williams, another son of Mr. T. C. Williams. The T. C. Williams School of Law is an integral part of the University of Richmond. The degrees in law are conferred by the corporation of the University of Richmond. AN ACCREDITED SCHOOL The School is fully accredited by the recognized standardizing agencies in America. It is a member of the Association of American Law Schools; it is on the approved lists of the American Bar Association and the Virginia State Board of Bar Examiners; and its Bachelor of Laws degree is fully accredited by the Regents of the· University of the State of New York. LOCATION The School occupies a new law building located on the Univer sity's main campus in suburban Richmond. The law building pro vides modern classrooms, seminar rooms, faculty studies, conference rooms, a student lounge and a large courtroom and assembly room. An air-conditioned library seats 100 and houses approximately 40,000 law books. Richmond is the seat of Virginia's government. The State Legis lature, City Council, and County Board of Supervisors hold frequent sessions. All types of County, City, and State courts, including the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, sit here, some of them con tinuously. Richmond is the headquarters for the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Both courts hold regular· 6 UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND terms in Richmond. The State Corporation Commission and the Industrial Commission hold their sessions here. M any of the Federal administrative agencies hold hearings in Richmond. Thus the student finds, in addition to the formal school program, unsurpassed opportunities for law study by his observation of law in the making and operation as he notes the various legislative, judicial, and administrative departments of the local, State, and Federal governments at work. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION The aim of the School is to equip its graduates with legally trained minds. Several factors are happily combined to accomplish this result. The case method of instruction is used in most courses. The student, especially the beginner, is trained in the analysis and solution of legal problems by the application of logical reasoning. Attention is given to the principles of the early Common Law, State and Federal decisions, and statutes, and to such rules of law as are peculiar to Virginia. Substantive courses, dealing with the content of the law, are offered by full-time instructors. Adjective courses, dealing with the principles governing actual practice before judicial and administrative tribunals, are offered by associate instructors, all practicing attorneys and leading members of the City and State bars. The student is trained in the historical principles of law, but his attention is also directed to the most recent developments. By a combination of the above factors, a competent facu lty oITers a curriculum, well balanced in theoretical and practical courses, carefully selecteu to equip the graduate for the successful practice of law. MOOT COURT An extensive voluntary moot court program is offered. Trials at the traffic and police court level, at the trial court level, and at the appellate court level arc held. Appellate competitions are also con ducted in the first and second years from which a team of three students is selected to represent the School in the National Moot Court Competition. In addition, a fmmal course designated Practice Court, limited to third-year students and carrying two semester hours of credit, is offered. In addition to regular class work, each student is required to argue one nisi prius case, preparing all the pleadings and taking all the steps necessary to the ultimate disposition of the case.
