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.
