He rose quickly, becoming an associate law professor in 1974, then full professor and associate dean in 1977. In 1981 and 1982, he was a visiting law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law. He served for nearly three years as executive assistant for policy for then-Governor Charles S. Robb. Sullivan returned to Marshall-Wythe in 1984, as the John Stewart Bryan Professor of Jurisprudence. He became dean of the law school inJuly 1985.
