The Rule of Law Event

The Virginia Law Foundation and the Virginia Holocaust Museum are celebrating the Rule of Law and honoring two outstanding citizen lawyers who have devoted their careers to advancing it.

A primary lesson of the Holocaust is the centrality of the Rule of Law in the preservation of civil societies. Established by the Virginia Holocaust Museum’s Nuremberg Courtroom Committee and the Virginia Law Foundation, this program honors individuals whose life and work emulate the highest ideals enshrined in the principles of the Nuremberg Military Tribunal and later the International Court of Justice.

This year’s luncheon event will also feature a continuing legal education seminar by Virginia CLE and offer 1.0 MCLE credit. Professor A.E. Dick Howard, Warner Booker Distinguished Professor of International Law Emeritus at the University of Virginia School of Law, and Professor Charles Barzun, Joel B. Piassick Research Professor of Law and Director of the Program on Legal and Constitutional History at UVA, will present an hour-long lecture and serve as the event’s keynote speakers.

Registration is now open, and while the luncheon is complimentary, tax-deductible contributions in celebration of this event and the award recipients are suggested. Attorneys seeking MCLE credit for the program may register to attend either in person or via live webcast for a $75 fee.
