About Virginia Law Weekly
The Virginia Law Weekly newspaper is published by students at the University of Virginia School of Law each Wednesday of the school year, excluding breaks and exam periods.
Virginia Law Weekly was first printed in 1948 and has been cited by several courts in published judicial opinions, including the U.S. Supreme Court in Patterson v. New York, 432 U.S. 197 (1977), the Fifth Circuit in Thermo King v. White's Trucking Service, 292 F.2d 668 (5th Cir. 1961), and various state courts.
The Law Weekly was first published online in the late 1990s, providing downloadable PDF versions of each week's edition. The website was expanded by Editor-in-Chief Scott Meacham '04 in the winter of 2004, and, in the spring of 2005, Features Editor Joey Katzen '07 relaunched it as a full-featured interactive newspaper site. In the winter of 2016, Tech Editor David Markoff '17 redesigned the website.
