Law School Personal Reflections on COVID-19

The Law Library has created a digital collection in our repository to gather and share the history of the William & Mary Law School at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this project, we are seeking reflective writing on the impact of the pandemic on the law school community. We welcome contributions from all community members who would like to preserve their thoughts in the collection.

We will accept both submissions created specifically for this project and submissions of previously written material, but it must be submitted by the creator. Submissions are moderated for appropriateness but will not be edited. All accepted submissions will be housed permanently in the repository and made publicly available.

To share your experience, please submit your written contribution to the repository manager. Contact information is available on the repository's About page.

We have provided some questions and prompts that may be helpful in composing your submission, but you may include any written response that you feel is meaningful to record and preserve.
