Welcome to the Education of Lawyers Section
The Education of Lawyers Section was formed by uniting the work of the former Committee on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar with the contributions of the two Conclaves on the Education of Lawyers in Virginia. Legal education begins in law school, moves through a period dominated by bar review courses and bar exams, and continues through all stages of a lawyer's professional life. This section, the first of its kind in the country, brings together law deans and professors, members of the judiciary, and practicing lawyers to improve every phase of legal education in Virginia.
The section publishes a newsletter, Education & Practice. It cosponsors innovative continuing legal education programs in collaboration with the Virginia law schools, such as Professionalism for Law Students program and the Legal Writing Workshop. The section has also undertaken a variety of special projects.
