Assembly Examining Bill To Allow Virginia Professors Bar Membership
Posted on:
The General Assembly is examining a bill that would allow university law professors membership to the Virginia State Bar, and thus the capability to practice law, reports Virginia Lawyers Weekly.
Law professors would have to have been practicing law full-time for at least five of the last seven years, and their licenses would expire when the professors stop teaching law full-time at the institution.
The bill made it through the Senate in 2012, but was dismissed by the House committee. The Senate Courts Committee cleared another version of the bill on Wednesday in a 12-3 vote.
Virginia law professors are watching the bill closely and are eager for the opportunity to enter the Bar. We’ll keep you updated as this story progresses.

Founding partner James R. Parrish knows the best strategies for fighting for fair compensation from insurance companies because he used to represent the insurancers in personal injury cases. A background of working on the other side of personal injury claims gives him the insider knowledge necessary to take on these deep-pocketed companies.
06How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
