The University of Virginia School of Law (Virginia Law or UVA Law) was founded in Charlottesville in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson as one of the original subjects taught at his "academical village," the University of Virginia. Virginia Law is the fourth-oldest active law school in the United States (second oldest in the state after William and Mary Law School). The law school offers the J.D., LL.M., and S.J.D. degrees in law and hosts visiting scholars, visiting researchers and a number of legal research centers.
Virginia Law is perennially regarded as one of the 10 most prestigious law schools in the United States. U.S. News & World Report currently ranks Virginia Law as tied for 8th in the nation with UC Berkeley,[3] and in 2011 ranked Virginia Law as 6th among major law firm recruiters.[4] In the 2010 Super Lawyers Law School Rankings, Virginia Law ranks 4th in the nation.[5] In the 2015 Above the Law rankings, Virginia Law ranked 6th in the nation.[6]
A survey by the National Law Journal ranked Virginia Law 5th in the number of graduates hired by NLJ's top 250 firms in 2009.[7] Virginia Law also places high in clerkships, recently ranking behind only Harvard Law School and Yale Law School.[8]
The Princeton Review ranked Virginia Law as 1st in "Best Quality of Life" among the nation's law schools, along with 2nd in "Best Classroom Experience," 4th in "Best Professors," 5th in "Hardest to Get Into," and 7th in "Best Career Prospects"[9]
The Law School has 18,442 alumni in all 50 states, 63 foreign countries and several U.S. protectorates, and the Law School's alumni giving rate of more than 50 percent for the past seven years is among the highest of the nation's law schools.[10] Virginia Law recently completed an eight-year capital campaign, raising $173.9 million to enhance the student experience.[10]
The Judge Advocate General's Legal Center and School operated by the United States Army is located next to UVA.

Campus
Virginia Law receives virtually no funding from public coffers except for in-state student tuition subsidies.[15] The Law School instead depends upon the generosity of private donors, its substantial endowment (US $ 380 million[16]) and student tuition payments. In 1995-1997, the Law School used entirely donated funds to renovate and expand its buildings on the University's North Grounds to include the former facilities of the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration which built a new campus several hundred yards away. The Law School has an operating budget of US $ 61.3 million.[17]
The Arthur J. Morris Law Library holds more than 870,000 volumes, including substantial collections of federal, state, and international documents, manuscripts, archives, and online research databases.[18]
Student organizations
The Law School maintains an extensive roster of student organizations, including chapters of the Federalist Society, the American Constitution Society and the St. Thomas More Society.
The Virginia Law Weekly, the Law School's student-run weekly newspaper, has been published since 1948. The paper has been cited in several court cases including the U.S. Supreme Court case Patterson v. New York.[19] In addition to its news content, the VLW also contains student-submitted content which often includes humorous and creative pieces. The Law Weekly has won the American Bar Association's previous three "Best Newspaper Awards," in 2006, 2007, and 2008.[20]
Each spring over a hundred students write, direct and perform in The Libel Show, a comedy and musical theatre production that was first organized in 1904. Its performers roast Law School professors, student stereotypes and life in Charlottesville throughout each of its three nightly showings. Professors write and sing their response to the students' jokes at the penultimate performance.
