Law School Catalogues

General Statement:

The Law School was established as a part of Richmond College in 1870. In 1890 the family of the late Mr. T. C.

The Securities Acts And (Hopefully) How To Avoid Them, John W. Edmonds Iii

University of Richmond Law Review

With the boom and bust of the twenties and thirties, there developed a new legal concept-regulation of the sale and issuances of securities. It is an unfortunate comment upon the business ethics of some Americans that such laws were felt necessary.

The trial courts in Virginia have devoted much thought and time to this problem, and since 1887 twelve cases have been heard and decided by the Supreme Court of …

Ethical Problems Of Government Lawyers, James W. Payne Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

Most discussions of the ethical problems confronting an attorney for the government refer primarily to the more obvious situations involving a potential conflict of interest, such as the offer of some substantial benefit from a private party having business with the government and seeking the aid or good will of the attorney.
