Her Own Words

"The William & Mary election law program has grown to national prominence in just a few short years.  W&M offers unique election law courses instructed by some of the best election law attorneys in the country, as well as rewarding summer employment opportunities in the field.  Best of all, the program has resulted in permanent election law employment opportunities for several W&M graduates.

"Interestingly, the election law program was initiated by a bi-partisan group of students who expressed a desire to take classes exploring the intersection of law and politics.  The W&M faculty is full of professors and administrators who respond positively to students’ intellectual curiosities and work to create innovative and interesting academic opportunities.  Of this, the election law program is tangible proof."
