Pipelines Under Construction
Pipeline Projects — Send Us More! These are a sampling of the pipeline projects that Virginia lawyers have developed to encourage students to consider law as a career and help them along the path. If your organization has a pipeline project, Virginia Lawyer would like to tell your story. The Virginia State Bar also plans to create a diversity Web page where we can post information about projects in the commonwealth. Please contact Dawn Chase at (804) 775-0586 or chase@vsb.org to discuss your ideas.
