FELLOWS OF THE VIRGINIA LAW FOUNDATION

The Virginia Law Foundation Fellows program was created

in 1983 by the Board of Directors to encourage and recognize

excellence in the practice of law and public service, and to

support the programs and objectives of the Foundation. The

Foundation’s by-laws state that Fellows shall be “persons of

integrity and character who have maintained and upheld the

highest standards of their profession and who shall be deemed

outstanding in their profession and in their community”. The

ongoing membership of the Fellows is comprised of

outstanding lawyers, law professors, and retired members of

the judiciary who are nominated by the Fellows Council and

elected by the Foundation Board. New Fellows are

recognized at a yearly induction ceremony held in conjunction

with the Annual Meeting of The Virginia Bar Association, and

selection of the Fellows is publicized by the Virginia Law

Foundation as a professional honor.

The fourteen-member Fellows Council is the administrative

body of the Fellows. The organization currently sponsors a

Mentor Program to utilize the talents of its membership. The

Fellows mentors strive to serve the profession by assisting any

active Virginia State Bar member in practice for less than

three years who requests participation in the Mentor Program.

Fellows are strongly encouraged to make annual donations

to the Foundation to support projects of the Foundation that

promote the rule of law, access to justice, and law related

education.
