Law Student Book Awards
This award is given to the top graduating student from each of the seven Virginia law schools. In conjunction with the Dean of each law school the Family Law professor chooses the graduate who has demonstrated the most promise and potential for the practice of family law to be the recipient of this award.
Thomson West provides complimentary inscribed copies of their publication Virginia Practice Series – Family Law: Theory, Practice, and Forms by Swisher, Diehl, and Cottrell. The Board of Governors is appreciative of Principal Attorney Editor John S. Bloomquist and Directors Daniel S. Eckert and Richard Brown for making this book award possible. We provide a beautifully framed certificate to accompany the book, and the award is presented to the student at the law school’s graduation ceremonies.
