The Law Student Division of the American Bar Association at the University of Richmond is here to serve both students of the law at the University and members of the ABA in the surrounding area.

The University of Richmond belongs to the Law Student Division of the ABA and is represented locally in the Fourth Circuit by our SBA President and Law School Division Representative. Other law schools in the Fourth Circuit include Appalacian School of Law, Campbell University, College of William and Mary, Duke University, North Carolina Central University, Regent University, University of North Carolina, University of South Carolina, University of Virginia, Wake Forest University, Washington and Lee University, and West Virginia University.

The Circuit schools meet twice a year to organize local events. All SBA Presidents and Law School Division Reps meet as an Assembly, once per year. A Board of Governors, the heads of each Circuit, meet several more times per year, and the four National Officers run the day to day business of the organization and represent the division to the entirety of the ABA. The LSD/ABA provides students many opportunities to increase their leadership skills and resumes. More information on how the LSD/ABA works and what each position entails is availble at the LSD/ABA page. To go to this page click the link on the right under Quick Links.

The Officers for the LSD/ABA at the University of Richmond for the 2008-2009 year are as follows:

President - Sheena Lewis
Vice President -Anna Watson
Treasurer - Amber Ford

Lt. Governor of Membership for the Fourth Circuit: Sheena Lewis

This site is primarily focused on giving law students information on joining the ABA and how the ABA can serve them through programs like low-cost life and health insurance. This information is available through the Law Students link. However, we will keep updated information on ABA events at the University of Richmond and the nearby area such as Continuing Legal Education seminars, writing contests, and other ABA sponsered events. This information will be posted under the Attorneys link.

We hope the information you find here is helpful. If you need more assistance or have a question, please contact the University of Richmond ABA Student Representative by email.
