About Virginia Law Weekly

The Virginia Law Weekly newspaper is published by students at the University of Virginia School of Law each Friday of the school year, excluding breaks and exam periods.

Virginia Law Weekly was first printed in 1948 and has been cited by several courts in published judicial opinions, including the U.S. Supreme Court in Patterson v. New York, 432 U.S. 197 (1977), the Fifth Circuit in Thermo King v. White's Trucking Service, 292 F.2d 668 (5th Cir. 1961), and various state courts.

The Law Weekly was first published online in the late 1990s, providing downloadable PDF versions of each week's edition. The website was expanded by Editor-in-Chief Scott Meacham '04 in the winter of 2004, and in the spring of 2005, Features Editor Joey Katzen '07 relaunched it as a full-featured interactive newspaper site.

Editorial policy
The Virginia Law Weekly publishes letters and columns of interest to the Law School and the legal community at large. Views expressed in such submissions are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the Law Weekly or the Editorial Board. Letters from organizations must bear the name, signature, and title of the person authorizing the submission. All letters and columns must either be submitted in hardcopy bearing a handwritten signature along with an electronic version, or be mailed from the author's e-mail account.

Submissions must be received by 5:00 p.m. the Monday before publication and must be in accordance with the submission guidelines. Letters over 500 words and columns over 700 words may not be accepted. The Editorial Board reserves the right to edit all submissions for length, grammar, and clarity. Although every effort is made to publish all materials meeting our guidelines, we regret that not all submissions received can be published.
