Virginia’s IP program, combining a broad array of courses, hands-on clinics and professors who are focused on the real-world applications of their scholarship, offers students a unique foundation for exploring these challenges.
In the field of intellectual property law, PROFESSOR JOHN F. DUFFY has been identified as one of the 25 most influential people in the nation and one of the 50 most influential people in the world by prominent legal news magazines. Duffy has also litigated major patent cases at the U.S. SUPREME COURT and the U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT in recent years.
PATENT AND LICENSING CLINICS Being a good intellectual property lawyer requires adaptability in a dynamic field and an understanding of the realities of producing intellectual works. Two patent and licensing clinics, run in conjunction with the University of Virginia Patent Foundation, offer students hands-on experience with learning how and when to file patents and draft licensing

PUBLIC SERVICE VIRGINIA UPHOLDS THOMAS JEFFERSON’S CONVICTION that lawyers have a
special obligation to serve the public interest. We are committed to nurturing the civic virtues that support his ideal of public responsibility: integrity, civility and service.
The Law School offers hundreds of thousands of dollars in fellowships to students pursuing public service careers, and its loan forgiveness program removes the burden of debt repayment from students who choose lower-paying public service careers, making virtually any career a practical possibility. “Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
AS THE 15TH POWELL FELLOW IN LEGAL SERVICES, MEGAN LISA WATKINS ’16 will help youths avoid the schoolto-prison pipeline. The Law School’s Powell Fellowship awards $45,000 and benefits for two years to a graduate who plans to enhance the delivery of legal services to the poor under the sponsorship of a host public interest organization.
—ROBERT F. KENNEDY ’51
LIFE Outside the Classroom LIFE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA SCHOOL OF LAW is marked by convenience:
Students benefit from nearby amenities both on and off Grounds. Entertainment and dining choices are plentiful, and options to explore both city life and nature are a short walk or drive away.
The environment contributes to students’ ability to form bonds with each other and helps create a community that emphasizes work-life balance. “I PERSONALLY LOVE THE ART SCENE in Charlottesville. The Fralin Museum of Art has a fantastic permanent collection. Final Fridays at the museum, with wine and cheese, are always a treat.” —ELEANOR MORAN ’17
MORTIMER CAPLIN PUBLIC SERVICE CENTER The center is the Law School’s focal point for public service programming
and outreach. It provides specialized career counseling to students and alumni interested in government and nonprofit jobs. VIRGINIA LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM The Law School’s loan forgiveness program helps
“I’ve really appreciated the wide range of DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS AND MUSIC SERIES provided at discount to students. The Virginia Film Festival always has an interesting array of screenings and special guests. Also, the UVA Arts Box Office always has a full calendar of events to choose from — I could always plan on finding some program to attend in any given semester.” —HILLARY TAYLOR ’16
“THERE ARE SO MANY INCREDIBLE HIKES in and around Charlottesville, so you definitely have to make sure to explore the surrounding area in your time here. I also regularly played racquetball at the North Grounds gym, a great way to relieve some stress and unwind.” —TYLER BADGLEY ’16
repay the loans of graduates who earn less than $75,000 annually in public service positions. Participants in the program who earn less than $55,000 annually receive benefits covering 100 percent of their qualifying law school loans. PROGRAM DETAILS: WWW.LAW.VIRGINIA.EDU/LOANFORGIVE PRO BONO PROGRAM Virginia is committed to the ideal that all students will fulfill their professional obligation
to provide free legal services to the indigent and underrepresented. The Pro Bono Program encourages all students to voluntarily complete at least 75 hours of pro bono service during law school. Opportunities are available with local attorneys and organizations, as well as throughout the nation.
YOU’LL FIND A HOME in the UVA Law community. HOUSING
Most students choose to live in off-Grounds apartments or houses, many of which are within a 5-10 minute walk of the Law School. On-Grounds housing includes apartments for singles and families, and the historic Range, a graduate community for single students.
DINING AT UVA LAW
The Sidley Austin Café and Greenberry’s Coffee Bar, located within the Law School, offer breakfast, lunch and snacks every week day during the school year. In addition, students often join professors and administrators for lunch in the

Law School’s Philip M. Stone Dining Room. There are also a dozen upscale
restaurants and two grocery stores a short walk from the Law School.
THE JOHN W. GLYNN, JR. LAW & BUSINESS PROGRAM builds a bridge between
law school and the actual practice of business law. By integrating business and legal analysis into the law school classroom, the program better prepares students to serve their future clients from day one.
The program is designed for students aspiring to structure and negotiate business transactions, advise company directors and management, represent businesses in litigation and disputes, begin their careers in a corporate position, or serve in government regulatory agencies. Students who participate in the program gain experience with the types of sophisticated and challenging projects they will encounter in their careers.
Students in PROFESSOR ANDREW VOLLMER’S securities law seminars toured the NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE to gain a better understanding of the purposes and effects of regulating exchanges.
CLINICAL Training LAW STUDENTS AT VIRGINIA enjoy an array of clinics and courses that offer
a wide range of practical training options. Virginia’s 18 clinics, many of which offer contact with clients, build experience with real-world problems.
Vollmer, director of the Law & Business Program, is the former deputy general counsel at the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
Students also advance their skills through courses in public speaking, trial advocacy and professional responsibility, as well as extracurricular moot court and mock trial competitions.
CURRICULUM Students can take advantage of an extensive set of curricular opportunities that allow them the flexibility to sample according to their interests or dive deep. BUSINESS METHODS AND SKILLS For students without a financial background, courses taught by UVA’s business and law faculty lay a foundation for understanding the corporate world. They include Accounting and Corporate Finance, Corporate Strategy and other classes focused on business skills. CORE COURSES Core business law courses include Corporations, Securities Regulation, Bankruptcy, Employment, Environmental Law, Income Tax, Antitrust and Intellectual Property. ENHANCED CORE LAW & BUSINESS COURSES Students who have taken the introductory Accounting and Corporate Finance course or who have equivalent experience are eligible to take enhanced versions of core Law & Business courses that incorporate finance and quantitative concepts. These typically include Corporations, Securities Regulation, Secured Transactions, Corporate Finance, and Mergers and Acquisitions, and are often taught by resident faculty members with graduate degrees in economics or finance.
THE SUPREME COURT LITIGATION CLINIC recently briefed and argued two cases before the court: Elonis v. United States, which involved whether speech on Facebook constituted a “true threat” against another person, and Henderson v. United States, which involved the right of nonviolent felons to profit from the sale of their legally acquired guns. The clinic won both cases. PROFESSOR DAN ORTIZ, the clinic’s director, called the group’s win in Henderson “a clear victory for the little guy.”
PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE PROGRAM A curricular innovation that is the first of its kind in the country, the Principles and Practice Program teaches students to apply legal theory in real-life situations. The program teams law professors
with practitioners, judges and other distinguished professionals to teach courses. The program melds the insights of theory with those of contemporary practice, giving students a more sophisticated and useful understanding of a field than either perspective can yield on its own.
TRIAL ADVOCACY COLLEGE The Trial Advocacy College is an intensive eight-day experience offered annually between the fall and spring terms. Third-year students are enrolled with participants from some of the nation’s
best litigation units in an intensive practice program with a faculty comprised of some of the best trial lawyers and most outstanding judges in the country. This selective program supplements the 12 sections of trial advocacy offered each academic year.
PUBLIC POLICY and Regulation LAWYERS WORKING WITH PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS must understand the complex
relationship between law and public policy to be effective at shaping it. Virginia’s strength in public policy and regulation law draws from faculty members who have brought their experiences working for the government or other institutions back to the classroom. These connections benefit students in a variety of ways.
When professors work for Congress or federal agencies such as the State Department, volunteer for government commissions, consult for state and local governments, or work with advocacy organizations that seek to influence public policy, the experiences enrich their teaching, facilitate student opportunities to network with practicing attorneys in a variety of fields, and inspire fresh insights in research and scholarship.
Constitutional LAW and Legal HISTORY
JANET NAPOLITANO ’83 — president of the University of California and former secretary of the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY — spoke at the Virginia Law Review’s annual dinner in 2015, extolling the value of working in public service and the benefits of a law degree.

Instead of spending her last fall semester in classes, ERICA AGHEDO ’16 worked full-time at the World Bank’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency. Aghedo was one of several students participating in UVA Law’s EXTERNSHIPS PROGRAM, which allows students to earn credit while working full-time or part-time for nonprofit and government employers. Students can work anywhere in the world, or closer to home in locations such as WASHINGTON, D.C.
THE LAW SCHOOL’S CURRICULUM places the history of law and the ongoing story of the Constitution in context so that students can better understand both the past and present legal landscape.
With more than 25 faculty members in constitutional law and legal history, Virginia offers an unparalleled variety of lecture courses, seminars and clinics in the field.
THE LAW SCHOOL’S PROXIMITY to Washington, D.C., provides rich opportunities for a close-up view of how regulations, policies and the government interact. The location also allows top government lawyers and Washington-based practitioners to teach part-time at Virginia, which exposes students to the kinds of concrete issues they may one day face as government officials, practicing lawyers or policy advocates. VIRGINIA’S ALUMNI CONNECT the school and students to Washington and other public policy networks. The Law School’s graduates work for the White House, Congress, the

SUPREME COURT LITIGATION CLINIC Students in this yearlong clinic handle actual cases, from seeking Supreme Court review to briefing on the merits.
RACE and Law LAWYERS CANNOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE AMERICAN LEGAL LANDSCAPE
without studying the impact of race. The Law School founded the Center for the Study of Race and Law in 2003 to provide opportunities for students, scholars, practitioners and community members to examine and exchange ideas related to race and law through lectures, symposia and scholarship.
The center also coordinates with the Law School to offer a concentration of courses on race and law, and serves as a resource for faculty whose teaching or scholarship addresses subjects related to race. PROFESSOR KIM FORDE-MAZRUI leads the CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF RACE AND LAW. His scholarship focuses on equal protection, especially involving race and sexual orientation, and has addressed issues such as affirmative action, remedies for past discrimination, racial profiling, and the role of race in juries and adoption.

FROM THE MEXICAN BORDER TO THE HALLS OF CONGRESS, the controversy over
immigration law has intensified and become more critical to U.S. policymakers. Virginia’s Immigration Law Program allows students to explore the key legal and public policy issues affecting this debate, including whom the United States should admit, who should qualify for political asylum, what should be done about the undocumented, and the impact of immigration on the economy or on national security. LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCED FACULTY, STUDENTS CONSIDER ISSUES posed by
immigration and build practical skills through an immigration clinic and pro bono efforts offering aid to clients. The program also brings in expert speakers on immigration law, including leading attorneys and policy advocates, immigration judges and government officials. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE “ WHEN I WAS HANDED A LARGE FILE on my first day of class and was told that my client had six other large files waiting for me in Immigration Law Clinic Director Doug Ford’s office. To say that I was overwhelmed would be an understatement, but alongside feelings of nervousness came a strong sense of responsibility and excitement. By the time I took Elizabeth’s case, at least 10 other students had worked with her. All of those students completed an essential portion of her case, and without them, we could not have obtained the victory we so suddenly did. I began Elizabeth’s case with
the expectation that my role would be to write a brief, but a little over a month into the semester, we heard from the Office of Chief Counsel that they no longer opposed Elizabeth’s application for asylum. The government’s non-opposition is a tribute to the quality of the work by all the students — their sensitive handling of the client and persuasive legal briefing. About a week after that great news, we were scheduled to be in court for a hearing, an unusual turn of events. After only about 15 minutes, the judge granted Elizabeth asylum in

her case through to victory. Working on Elizabeth’s case taught me a great deal about asylum and immigration law generally, but most importantly, it gave me the opportunity to learn how to work with a client. The majority of courses offered in law school provide opportunities
for students to get into the case law and ‘think like lawyers,’ but hardly any give students perspective on working with actual clients. The law takes on a whole new meaning when you put a face and a backstory to a case name.” —Lisseth Ochoa-Chavarria ’17

ENVIRONMENTAL and Land Use Law ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES ARE RARELY SIMPLE.
From climate change to local conservation, they raise complex scientific, ethical, economic and political questions that defy easy answers. The Environmental and Land Use Law Program at the University of Virginia empowers students to confront these questions during law school so they can build the practical skills, analytic tools and hands-on experience needed to make their mark as environmental leaders in government, business and the not-for-profit sector.
The program combines outstanding legal teaching with opportunities for interdisciplinary study, clinical experience and scholarly inquiry.
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Charlottesville and surrounding Albemarle County provide a beautiful and uniquely fruitful setting for the study of land use and environmental issues.
PROFESSOR JON CANNON leads Virginia’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program. Before coming to the Law School in 1998, Cannon held several senior positions with the U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, including that of general counsel. Cannon is the author of “Environment in the Balance: The Green Movement and the Supreme Court” (Harvard University Press, 2015).
Interacting with faculty who research and shape the law at the local, regional and global levels, students at the University of Virginia experience environmental law firsthand as it is practiced today, and study how it can better meet the next generation of challenges.
With a wide range of courses, conferences, student groups and opportunities for independent study, students at the University of Virginia are part of a vibrant intellectual community that crosses boundaries of academic disciplines and between practice and scholarship.

The HUMAN RIGHTS PROGRAM at the University of Virginia allows students to explore the range of opportunities available in the human rights field, at home and abroad, through hands-on experiences.
The program is the hub for human rights activities at the Law School, and cooperates with student groups, faculty members, the Public Service Center and Career Services, and human rights organizations to coordinate speakers, events, summer and postgraduate employment, and pro bono opportunities.
HUMAN RIGHTS STUDY PROJECT members — called Cowan Fellows — traveled abroad to study the peace process in Colombia during winter break in 2016. Past teams have conducted field missions to Egypt, Cuba, Sierra Leone, Syria and Lebanon, China, India, Uganda, Cambodia, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Myanmar.
THE INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW CLINIC IS THE CORE OF THE PROGRAM. The clinic offers students practical experience in human rights advocacy in collaboration with human rights lawyers and nongovernmental organizations in the United States and abroad. CLINIC STUDENTS HAVE WORKED ON PROJECTS IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS: National security in the war on terror Freedom of information and expression Gender-based violence, women’s and LGBTI
rights Rights of indigenous people Legal literacy and empowerment Right to education
Right to an effective remedy Rights respecting legislative reform Right to life and prohibition against

HEALTH Law THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURE of the Law School’s program in health law is its
collaboration with the University’s School of Medicine and its Medical Center, which is consistently ranked among the nation’s top hospitals. At Virginia, law students can study health law in the clinical setting, interacting with medical students and physicians from all medical specialties, including pediatrics, neurology, internal medicine (infectious disease and geriatrics) and psychiatry.
Law faculty teach in the School of Medicine and Medical School professors teach Law School classes. This collaboration extends to health policy experts in the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, the Darden School of Business, and the Schools of Architecture, Arts & Sciences, Engineering and Nursing. Students benefit from viewing the regulatory context through the eyes of physicians, inventors, health care administrators and experts from a variety of fields. THIS INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH is further borne out through institutes and centers at UVA that allow students to study and work on pressing issues in health care, biotechnology, research, genetics and moral philosophy:
INSTITUTE OF LAW, PSYCHIATRY AND PUBLIC POLICY VIRGINIA CENTER FOR TRANSLATIONAL AND REGULATORY SCIENCES INSTITUTE FOR PRACTICAL ETHICS AND PUBLIC LIFE CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL ETHICS CENTER FOR HEALTH POLICY Two Virginia law professors have CENTER FOR GLOBAL HEALTH been elected to the NATIONAL ACADEMY OF MEDICINE. PROFESSOR RICHARD BONNIE [right] has chaired 10 studies for the National Academies, ranging from tobacco policy to elder mistreatment. Bonnie, the director of the INSTITUTE OF LAW, PSYCHIATRY AND PUBLIC POLICY, also leads a statewide commission charged with overhauling Virginia’s mental health laws. PROFESSOR JOHN MONAHAN has directed two research networks on mental health law for the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
J.D.-M.P.H. (PUBLIC HEALTH) PROGRAM In conjunction with the Department of Public Health Sciences at the School of Medicine, the Law School offers a dual degree in public
health through a program directed by Professors Ruth Gaare Bernheim and Richard Bonnie. Students have access to graduate courses in health policy and management, health economics, ethics, global health, social and behavioral
health, environmental health and research methodology. Instituted in 2003, the M.P.H. program offers concentrations in generalist practice and research, health policy, and law and ethics, and includes field placement
options in global health, health policy and public health sites. The program takes four years to complete and requires a minimum of 116 credits.
