His Own Words

"William & Mary has proven to be more than a place of education; it is a place of facilitation. Whether meeting one-on-one to review course-related questions, offering career and clerkship guidance, or opening their homes to share a meal, faculty and administrators alike are committed to, and seem to take pride in, ensuring the success of William & Mary students. It is their dedication that makes this school an ideal place to receive a legal education."
