The College Of William & Mary Marshall-Wythe School Of Law

Overview ³

Legal education began at William & Mary in 1779, at the urging of Thomas Jefferson. He was governor of Virginia at the time and a member of the College’s Board of Visitors. Jefferson believed that aspiring members of the profession should be trained to be citizen lawyers — passionate legal advocates and honorable human beings. John Marshall, the nation’s fourth chief justice, studied here. So have generations of human rights activists, community leaders and defenders of the wrongfully accused.

Our remarkable history is matched only by our commitment to building the legal skills of our students, equipping them to become excellent lawyers who will make a difference in the world.

Our faculty are experienced mentors who exemplify the citizen-lawyer ideal. In every course, they use their professional and personal insights to emphasize the human element of the practice of law. Our students arrive with sharp intellects and wildly diverse talents and dedicate their time to collaborating on projects of real worth. In our Legal Practice Program, and in our clinics and externship program, they learn how to practice skillfully and with integrity.

Class Ranking and Grades ⁸

How we grade

In the first year, faculty may grade solely on examinations or may also consider class participation when assigning the final grade.

In upper-level elective and seminar courses, your academic work may be graded entirely by an exam or paper; or the professor may factor with the exam or paper grade, any of the following or combination of the following:

• in-course assignments
• quizzes
• classroom participation

If a professor bases the final grade in a course in whole or in part on written assignments other than “traditional” exams, these written assignments should be graded anonymously except where the assignment involves student-faculty interchange that in the faculty member's judgment makes anonymity for all students impossible. Professors must announce their grading practices during the add/drop period.

In clinical, externship and skills courses, how your grade is determined will be announced by the instructor prior to the end of add/drop. In most of these types of courses, your grade predominantly will be a matter of your participation and may include written work or an exam. Naturally, these courses will have an attendance requirement. If unable to meet the attendance requirement, you should consider dropping the course before the end of add/drop.

Since 2004, law faculty are required to adhere to a mandatory grade curve and in 2012, the law faculty modified the grading policy. Only the Vice Dean can grant an exception to the policy and only then for good cause shown by the faculty member.

Once a student's degree has been conferred, the academic record is closed and it cannot be changed or amended.

What Types of Grades Are Given

Law grades in courses graded by standard letter grade have quality points from which your grade point average is determined:

A+	4.3
B	4.0
A-	3.7
B+	3.3
B	3.0
B-	2.7
C+	2.3
C	2.0
C-	1.7
D	1.0
F	(fail -- 0 quality points that will factor into your grade point average, no credit is earned)

Pass-Fail

As an alternative to these standard letter grades, two different versions of pass-fail grades may be used in Law School courses:

1. "Standard Pass-Fail" grading means that only two grades are possible, "P" for pass and "F" fail. Students must earn a "P" in order for the course credits to count towards the total number of credits required for graduation. A "P" in a Standard Pass-Fail course will not affect a student's grade point average. An "F" in a Standard Pass-Fail course, however, will affect a student's grade point average.


2. "Extended Pass-Fail" grading means that the following four grades are possible: "H" (honors), "P" (pass), "LP" (low pass), and "F" (Fail). Similarly, grades other than "F" will not affect a student's grade point average but will count towards the total number of credits required for graduation. An "F" in an Extended Pass-Fail course will affect a student's grade point average.

Absent a controlling language in a course description, instructors may select which grading system they use in a given course. If the course description does not specify a grading system and the instructor does not specify a grading system before the end of the add/drop period, Standard Letter grading will be used. If a course description or an instructor indicates that some form of pass-fail grading will be used, but does not use the exact phrase "Standard Pass-Fail" or "Extended Pass-Fail" or is otherwise ambiguous, Extended Pass-Fail grading will be used.

Other grades that have no effect on your grade point average may be on your transcript:

• T" (transfer credit from another institution -- students must request permission to "visit" another institution or an institution's abroad program and must seek approval to register in specific courses. To transfer, grades in approved credits must be a "C" or better and will come to the W&M transcript as a "P")


• NG (no grade or credit earned – when a faculty member has not yet submitted your grade)


• I (incomplete—can only be given with permission of the Associate Dean for Administration and is never given to a graduating student in the semester they are graduating)


• O (audit—no credit earned)

You have the option to convert a non-required grade to a pass

You may not elect to take a regularly graded course pass/fail. You may only convert a grade earned (subject to the policy) to a "pass."

You may, if in good standing, elect to convert to a “pass” one course grade that was graded by a letter grade. This option is governed by the Grade Conversion Policy.

Grade Normalization (Curve)⁹

Mandatory Grade Policy (explanation follows this chart):

Type of Class	Minimum GPA	Target GPA	Maximum GPA	Grade Distribution (described below)
First-year doctrinal courses Professional Responsibility (regardless of size)	3.25	3.30	3.35	Must substantially follow distribution as determined by the Vice Dean.
Upper-level courses of 30 or more students	3.25	3.30	3.35	Should follow distribution to the extent practicable.
Upper-level courses of 10-29 students All sections of Legal Practice Program (regardless of size)	3.20	3.30	3.40	Should follow distribution to the extent practicable.
Upper-level courses of 9 or fewer Clinics (regardless of size) Courses classified as satisfying the writing requirement (regardless of size)	3.20	n/a	3.70	n/a

Limits on Mean GPA

• Faculty shall ensure that the mean GPA of each class falls between the maximum and minimum GPAs described above.
• Faculty should not treat the upper (or lower) bounds as the target GPA for their classes and should seek a target mean GPA of 3.30 in classes enrolling 10 or more students.

Distribution of Grades

Grades may be based on the results of assigned written work wholly or may include class participation.

A (including A+ if available)	10%
A-	20%
B+	35%
B	20%
B- or below	15%

Limits on Mean GPA

• Faculty shall ensure that the mean grade for each class falls between the maximum and minimum grade means described above.
• Faculty should not treat the upper (or lower) bounds as the target grade mean for their classes and should seek a target mean of 3.30 in classes enrolling 10 or more students.

Distribution of Grades

A (including A+ if available)	10%
A-	20%
B+	35%
B	20%
B- or below	15%

Legal Practice Program

The Director of the Legal Practice Program shall supervise and coordinate grading in the Program and seek substantial uniformity in distribution across its sections.

Courses Satisfying the Writing Requirement

Seminars that do not satisfy the writing requirement are subject to the same mean requirements as other classes of similar enrollment.

In courses classified as satisfying the writing requirement, the faculty member shall apply the mandatory limits on mean GPA separately to those students writing a qualifying paper (students are considered to have written a qualifying paper even if they have otherwise satisfied the writing requirement) and to those students who are not. The permissible range of mean GPA for students not writing a paper is based on total enrollment.

Example: 19 students are enrolled in Law and Social Order, which offers students the option of writing a paper that satisfies the writing requirement. Ten of the students take this option, 9 do not. The mean GPA of the 10 paper students must fall between 3.20 and 3.70 (the range for paper courses). The mean GPA of the 9 non-paper students must fall between 3.20 and 3.40 (the range for a 19-student class).

Grade of A+

A single grade of A+ may (but need not) be awarded in a class with 30 or more students. No grade of A+ may be awarded in a class of fewer than 30 students.

Honors ^10-11

Beginning spring 2012, the Law School faculty instituted the awarding of Latin Honors to the JD graduating class. This notation will appear both on the transcript and the diploma. The honors are designated as:

Honor	Criteria
Cum Laude	meaning "with honor" and is awarded to the those students whose rounded rank gpa places them in the top 25% of the graduating class.
Magna Cum Laude	meaning "with great honor" and is awarded to the those students whose rounded rank gpa places them in the top 10% of the graduating class.
Summa Cum Laude	meaning "with highest honor" and is awarded to the those students whose rounded rank gpa places them in the top 3% of the graduating class.
Order of the Coif	The Order of the Coif is a national scholastic honor society in law. Its purpose is "to foster a spirit of careful study and to mark in a fitting manner those who have attained a high grade of scholarship" in the study of law. The English Order of the Coif was the most ancient and one of the most honored institutions of the common law. Its origins possibly antedated the Norman Conquest. The American Order of the Coif was founded in 1912. Membership in the Order of the Coif is the highest accolade a law student may achieve, it is equivalent to membership in Phi Beta Kappa for undergraduates. Order of the Coif recognizes the scholastic achievement of students selected from the exact top ten percent of their class upon graduation. Only those students who earn 75% of their required credits for graduation through William & Mary Law School graded credits are eligible for induction to the William & Mary Chapter of Order of the Coif. Consequently, transfer students are rarely eligible for induction.

Journals ^27-33

Journal credit is determined by the outgoing editorial staff consistent with academic policies adopted by the faculty. Students can participate in a joint journal competition following one full-year of law school at William & Mary. The competition results in placement of eligible students to one of the five journals.

If you become eligible for journal credit, you will be enrolled in the appropriate number of credits (from 1 to 4) upon recommendation by the editorial staff and approval of the Law School administration. Journal credit is pass/fail. You can earn credit for work on only one law journal per semester.

Selection for our five student-edited journals is made through a journal competition held at the end of the 1L year. These journals feature the scholarship of professors, judges, and attorneys and include the William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal, the William & Mary Business Law Review, the William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review, the William & Mary Journal of Women and the Law, and the William and Mary Law Review. Journal members also write student notes, which are legal research papers that may be selected for publication.

The William and Mary Law Review

By publishing an annual volume of legal writing containing both professional and student work, the Law Review provides a forum for academic treatment of legal issues, offers a unique educational opportunity for its student members, and aids practitioners in understanding recent developments in the law. Members of the legal community generally consider law reviews persuasive reference sources and significant avenues to effect legal and social reform. During the last decade, state and federal courts, including the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, and D.C. Circuit Courts of Appeal, have cited the William & Mary Law Review more than two hundred times. In 2005, Justice Scalia cited the William & Mary Law Review in his dissent from the United States Supreme Court's decision finding that the posting of the Ten Commandments in a Kentucky courthouse violated the Establishment Clause. See McCreary County v. American Civil Liberties Union, 545 U.S. 844, 887 (2005) (Scalia, J., dissenting). More recently, in 2008, Justice Stevens cited the William & Mary Law Review in his dissent from the Supreme Court's decision in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570, 666 (2008) (Stevens, J., dissenting), where the Court struck down a handgun ban under the Second Amendment.

The William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal

Named among the leading student-edited constitutional law journals by Washington and Lee’s law library, the William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal is published in four issues per annual volume, adding almost 1,400 pages to the Institute’s scholarly corpus each year. Containing both student-edited professional articles and student-written notes, staff membership is open to all interested students, but the competition for admission is intense.

The William & Mary Business Law Review

The William & Mary Business Law Review (BLR) is a scholarly publication of professional articles and student notes, edited and operated by students of the William & Mary Law School. BLR is dedicated to the nexus between business, law, and ethics.

The mission of BLR is to: (i) publish articles that analyze new laws and challenge existing laws; (ii) provide lawyers, students, judges, politicians, and scholars a practical research tool; and (iii) provide students of the William & Mary Law School an opportunity to receive a more comprehensive legal education through participation as student staff members of BLR.

In 2011, the William & Mary Business Law Review became the fifth credit conferring academic law journal at William & Mary Law School. The faculty at William & Mary Law School voted Thursday evening, February 10, 2011, to approve BLR as a credit conferring journal beginning in the 2011-2012 academic year. This vote marked the end of a two-year evaluation period and the commencement of BLR’s status as a permanent journal at the law school—forever to serve the world of academia bearing the prestigious William & Mary name.

The William & Mary Environmental Law and Policy Review

The W&M Law School Scholarship Repository acquires, organizes, archives, and provides open access to the scholarly output of the W&M Law School's academic, research, and administrative communities. The repository is administered by The Wolf Law Library. Librarians work with the law school community to obtain and describe content before adding it to the repository.

The William & Mary Journal of Women and the Law

The Journal of Women and the Law was established in 1993 to provide a forum for scholarly debate on gender-related legal issues. As a facilitator of scholarly debate, the Journal does not promote a fixed ideology, but is instead a forum for open discussion and varying viewpoints. The Journal has attained its goal of becoming one of the nation's top specialty journals, and we wish to remain in that position by continuously publishing cutting edge pieces and providing our members with a forum to write and publish their own high quality work.

Moot Court ³⁴

W&M Moot Court team members competed in numerous tournaments during the 2016-17 season.

The Moot Court Program is one of William & Mary Law School’s best opportunities for students to develop and refine oral advocacy and brief writing skills. Team members participate in moot court tournaments, which require each team to research and write an appellate brief, then defend it before a panel of judges in an oral argument. Membership on Moot Court is an honor, and tryouts for the team are competitive.

Each year William & Mary’s Moot Court Team sends its members to approximately fifteen inter-collegiate moot court tournaments around the nation. William & Mary’s teams have enjoyed resounding success, and some of the teams accomplishments from 2012-14 include: winning the Judge Brown Admiralty Law Competition in New Orleans, Louisiana; advancing to the semi-finals in the Vale Corporate Securities Law competition in Wilmington, DE; advancing to the semi-finals at the Kaufmann Securities Moot Court Tournament in New York, NY; competing in the National Championships of the American College of Trial Laywers/New York City Bar Association National Moot Court Championship; advancing to the quarterfinals at the Andrews Kurth Moot Court National Championships, a tournament that included only the top 16 moot court teams in the country; and advancing to the International Finals of the Stetson University International Environmental Moot Court Compeition.

In addition to competing, the William & Mary Moot Court Team annually hosts the William B. Spong Invitational Moot Court Tournament. Now in its forty-sixth year, the Spong Tournament focuses on current issues in constitutional law. Rounds are judged completely by panels of federal and state court judges. The Virginia Trial Lawyers Association co-sponsors the tournament, and its representatives also serve as judges. Competitors at the Spong Tournament represent schools from across the United States.

Clinical Programs ³⁵

William & Mary Law School offers many opportunities to practice the wide range of skills necessary to provide clients with competent representation of the highest caliber and be successful in the practice of law. Students have many opportunities in their second and third years to represent real clients in actual cases through our clinical program; the hard part might be choosing among all the clinics we offer.

• Students in the Domestic Violence Clinic represent victims of domestic violence in obtaining protective orders, as well as in the legal issues that arise as a result of such violence.
• The Federal Tax Clinic assists in the representation of low-income Virginia taxpayers before the IRS, U.S. Tax Court, and U.S. District Court.
• Students in the Innocence Project Clinic participate in the legal investigation and research of inmate claims of actual innocence.
• The Family Law Clinic in the Williamsburg office of the Legal Aid Society of Eastern Virginia provides legal services to indigent people in a variety of civil matters.
• The Special Education Advocacy Clinic assists children with special needs and their families in special education matters.
• Students in the Lewis B. Puller, Jr. Veterans' Benefits Clinic learn veterans disability law and procedure and aid military veterans in the filing, adjudication, and appeal of their disability claims with the Veterans Administration, working in conjunction with the psychology students at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond (VCU) to refer clients for assessment, counseling, and therapy as needed. The Veterans' Benefits Clinic is the first service-learning project of the Health Policy and Law Initiative between William & Mary Law and VCU.
• The Virginia Coastal Policy Center (VCPC) provides science-based legal and policy analysis of environmental and land use issues affecting the state's coastal resources and educates the Virginia policymaking, non-profit, legal and business communities about these subjects.
• The Appellate and Supreme Court Clinic introduces 3L students to appellate practice in the federal Courts of Appeals and the United States Supreme Court. Students work as a team to identify cases suitable for the clinic and then work as pairs to prepare appellate briefs in cases involving the First and Fourth Amendments.
• The Elder & Disability Law Clinic trains students to understand the substantive legal issues affecting the elderly and individuals with disabilities while improving students’ interviewing, counseling, research, writing and advocacy skills as they advance their client’s interests.
