A New Curriculum for a New Era: The Law School at a Crossroads, 1970-1997

In this episode, Meggan Cashwell and Addison Patrick discuss their coauthored chapter on curricular reform from the 1970s through the 1990s, just as the Law School was establishing its new home on UVA's North Grounds. The conversation also goes behind the scenes of creating the book Legal Education at the University of Virginia, as Cashwell reflects on working with a wide range of contributors and as both authors discuss the archival sources that shaped the project—and surprised them. Cashwell and Patrick talk candidly about how these sources and stories ultimately inspired them to create the Legal Knowledge podcast.

We Demand: Student Advocates for Curricular Change, 1960-1980

Professor Claudrena Harold joins cohost Loren Moulds to discuss law student activism in the 1960s and 70s as an engine of institutional change, particularly around faculty hiring and curricular expansion. She illuminates the university in this period as a coming together of students transformed—at different times and in different ways—by the political and social movements of the day. Law students asked how legal education could and should prepare them to meet this new moment. Harold uses the examples of the Black Law Students Association and the Virginia Law Women, both founded at UVA in the early 1970s, to highlight the central role that student advocacy played in building the curricular infrastructure of the modern UVA Law School.

Gregory H. Swanson and the Integration of UVA Law

In this episode, former Law School dean Risa Goluboff and alumna Biruktawit Assefa join coauthor (and co-host) Randi Flaherty to discuss how attorney Gregory H. Swanson became the first Black student to integrate the University of Virginia and the UVA School of Law in 1950. In addition to sharing the story of Swanson's time at UVA, these authors explore what was happening in the field of legal education and in desegregation efforts related to higher education at the time of Swanson's ultimately successful bid to enroll as a graduate student at UVA Law.
