SCHOOL The Law School was one of Thomas JeHerson's favored projects and has been an integral part of the University ever since its founding in 1826. Since its start as one of the earliest law school: in the nation, a reputation has been earned and maintained for hig'i academic standards and professional excellence among its grade untes. The space here allows but few highlights from the long history of Mr. Jefferson's School of Law. One name especially dominates the nineteenth century: John B. Minor. Professor of Law for oxer fifty years, who contributed so much to the I'niversity's fame. An- other Professor of Law, Henry St. George Tucker. is credited with starting the University's Honor System. Down to this day the Law School has been fortunate in its outstanding teachers and deans, including the late VVilIiam Minor Lile, Judge Armistead M. Dohie 0f the 17.8. Court of Appeals, and now Frederick D. G. Ribble, Dean since 1939. and Past President of the Association of American Law Schools. The study of Law at the University is a three-year program 1111 the graduate level and leads to the LLB. 01- Bachelor of Laws de- gree. The first two years take up the basic course of subjects taught by the fourteen fulltime law professors, while the third year offers a wide selection of seminars where small groups are taught very practical subjects by qu-time professors only. This Law School is proud of its high moral tone, which is based both on the Honor System and a study of legal ethiCs. Emphasis is also placed on a lively group of extra-curricular activities that help to develop well-rounded graduates. Prominent among these are the Virginia Law vainw, the Virginia Law Ilt'rrlely, the Rrading Guide, The John Bassett Moore Society of International Law, the Student Legal Forum, and the Student Legal Research Group. A three-year Moot Court Competition develops oral ad- vocacy and also produces teams that have done well in national contests with other law schools. Four active legal fraternities also make their contributions. Since 1932 the Law School has been housed in Clark Memorial Hall, which was donated by an alumnus. Wings completed in 1950 and 1952 have given mom to the largest law library in the South and to the Army judge Advocate Generah School. F. D. G. RIBBLF.
