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 en- dowment 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. The largest of these gifts came through a bequest from Mr. T. C. Williams, Jr., 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. As a result of these several benefactions the endowment of the School of Law now amounts to $281,700.00. The Law building and lot are valued at $84,700.00 and the equipment at $40,000. 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 agen- cies in America. It is a member of the Association of American Law Schools; is on the approved list of the American Bar Association; and its Bachelor of Laws degree is fully accredited by the Regents of the University of the State of New York. The University of Richmond, of which the Law School is a com- ponent part, is on the accredited list of the Association of American Universities. LOCATION The Law School occupies "Columbia" building, the early home of Richmond College, at Lombardy and Grace Streets in Richmond. Extensive additions, which conform to the colonial architecture of the original building enable the Law School to accommodate in its classes about 250 students. Richmond is the. seat of Virginia's government. The State Legisla- ture and the City Council hold frequent sessions. All types of City and State courts, including the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, sit here, some of them continuously. 6 UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND The Federal District Court and Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit hold regular terms in Richmond. The State Corpora- tion Commission and the Industrial Commission hold their hearings here. These opportunities, in addition to library, classroom and home work, afford unsurpassed practical ways of law study to the industrious student by his observation of law in the making and operation as he notes the various legislative, judicial and administrative departments of the State at work. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION The aim of the School is thoroughly to equip its graduates with legally trained minds. Several factors are happily combined to accomplish this result. The "case-system" of instruction is used in practically all courses. The student, particularly the beginner, is trained in the art of analysis and solution of legal problems by the application of logical reasoning. Attention is given to the principles of the Common Law; State and Federal decisions and statutes; and particularly to such rules of law as are peculiar to Virginia. Substantive courses, dealing with the con- tent of the law, are offered by full-time instructors. Adjective courses, dealing with the principles governing actual practice before judicial tribunals, are offered by associate instructors, all practicing attorneys and leading members of the city and State bars.
