The Virginia Junior Faculty Forum
The Virginia Junior Faculty Forum is an ongoing colloquy series in which untenured law faculty in the Virginia area present works-in-progress to other untenured faculty, get feedback, and brainstorm in a relaxed and highly collegial setting. The Forum was founded in the Fall of 2007 by Professor Corinna Lain at the University of Richmond School of Law.
