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.
