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.
