University of Virginia School of Law
Encyclopedia
The University of Virginia School of Law (Virginia Law) was founded in Charlottesville
in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson
as one of the original subjects taught at his "academical village," the University of Virginia
. The law school maintains an enrollment of approximately 1,100 students in its initial degree program (the Juris Doctor
or J.D.). It also offers the Master of Laws
(LL.M.) and the Doctor of the Science of Law
(S.J.D.) degrees.
Virginia Law is regarded as one of the top 10 most prestigious and selective law schools in the United States. U.S. News & World Report
currently ranks Virginia Law 9th in the nation, and ranks Virginia Law as 6th among major law firm recruiters. In Vault.com's Top 25 Law School Rankings, Virginia Law is ranked 4th. In the 2010 Super Lawyers Law School Rankings, Virginia Law ranks 4th in the nation.
Virginia Law is third nationally in the number of alumni who are chairpersons and managing partners at law firms nationwide, and a survey by the National Law Journal found that the law school ranked fifth in the number of graduates hired by NLJ's top 250 firms in 2009. Additionally, Virginia Law is second only to Harvard
in the number of alumni serving as general counsel at Fortune 500
companies.
From 2000 to 2010, Virginia Law had the fifth-highest placement of law clerks on the United States Supreme Court (tied with Columbia
), surpassed only by Yale
, Harvard
, University of Chicago
and Stanford
. In the 2011-2012 term, Virginia Law is tied with Yale
and Stanford
for second in placement of alumni who will serve as law clerks on the United States Supreme Court, second only to Harvard
.
The Princeton Review ranked Virginia Law as 1st in "Best Quality of Life" among the nation's law schools, along with 2nd in "Best Classroom Experience," 4th in "Best Professors," 5th in "Hardest to Get Into," and 7th in "Best Career Prospects"
Virginia Law receives virtually no funding from public coffers except for in-state student tuition subsidies. Thus, the Law School depends upon the largesse of private donors, its substantial endowment and student tuition payments. In 1995-1997, the Law School used entirely donated funds to renovate and expand its buildings on the University's North Grounds to include the former facilities of the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration
which built a new campus several hundred yards away. The Law School's 51% alumni giving rate is among the highest of the nation's law schools.

The Virginia Law Weekly
, the Law School's student-run weekly newspaper, has been published since 1948. The paper has been cited in several court cases including the U.S. Supreme Court case Patterson v. New York. In addition to its news content, the VLW also contains student-submitted content which often includes humor and creative pieces. The Law Weekly has won the American Bar Association's previous three "Best Newspaper Awards," in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Each spring over a hundred students write, direct and perform in The Libel Show, a comedy and musical theatre production that was first organized in 1904. Its performers roast Law School professors, student stereotypes and life in Charlottesville throughout each of its three nightly showings. Professors write and sing their response to the students' jokes at the penultimate performance.

The Law School also has programs that help students build skills, such as the legal writing program http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/academics/practical/legalwriting.htm, courses in professional ethics http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/academics/practical/prof_responsibility.htm, trial advocacy and public speaking http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/academics/practical/publicspeaking.htm, and other practical-skills courses http://www.law.virginia.edu/html/academics/practical/practicalcourses.htm.

Students also may spend one semester abroad through the student-initiated study abroad program or as an external studies project. Each year a one-credit course is offered in Paris through the January Term.
