Intellectual Life
W&M Law School is a hub for scholarly debate on some of the hottest topics in American and international law.
Our research centers, conferences and lectures, faculty scholarship and student-edited journals add exciting new dimensions to academic life at William & Mary Law School. Here's where the foremost minds and emerging voices in the theory and practice of law present bold new ideas pertaining to international human rights, national security, election law, civil liberties, post-conflict justice and more.
Our students play a pivotal role in the richness of intellectual life at the Law School. They're not just invited to the annual Supreme Court Preview sponsored by the Institute of Bill of Rights Law, they're expected to help research and organize the two-day event attended by leading journalists, scholars and advocates from across the country.
