Description
"You need to understand your history, particularly if it has glorious, galvanizing, splendid elements." -- Taylor Reveley
------------------------------------
The first part of Reveley’s oral history took place in the Reeder Media Center in the Swem Library at William & Mary on November 30, 2023. Reveley began by discussing the circumstances of his arrival at the law school in 1998. Additionally, Reveley addressed deficiencies in buildings, in faculty and staff, difficulties with reputation and publicity, and the law school’s relationship to the main campus. The concept of the Citizen Lawyer was also extensively addressed as was the placement of the statutes of John Marshall and George Wythe in front of the law school.
