[Hamp-law] Greetings from William & Mary Law School!

[Carin Rank]

As another fruitful semester at William & Mary Law School nears end, we 
write to update you on the news that continues to make life exciting in 
Williamsburg.

Highlights include an addition to the soon-to-open Hixon Center for 
Experiential Learning, a Supreme Court Preview composed of renowned 
experts, and major victories for both our Trial Team and Appellate & 
Supreme Court Clinic. We take great pride in the successes of our 
students and faculty, and look forward to the many promises of the year 
ahead.

Please feel free to pass this on to your student advisees and pre-law 
groups.
