The Inaugural Civil Rights Law Institute at Monticello, originally scheduled to be presented in September 2021, will take place on June 7, 2022. On June 6, optional activities will also be available, including tours, cocktail reception, and dinner, featuring remarks from Former Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia John Charles Thomas. We appreciate your understanding regarding the postponement, but we are more excited than ever to present this important inaugural CLE program.

Policing is one of the most important civil rights issues facing our Commonwealth and nation today. It is crucial for lawyers to understand sensitive and complex topics such as police power on university campuses, litigating police misconduct cases, the law of excessive force, and legislation curtailing police abuses. Recognizing historical perspectives and staying up to date in this field are also important for lawyers handling civil rights and police misconduct cases.

To shed light on these issues, the Virginia Law Foundation has partnered with The Virginia Bar Association, The Old Dominion Bar Association, and founding members from the Virginia State Bar's Diversity Conference to present the Inaugural Civil Rights Law Institute at Monticello. This first-of-its-kind institute will focus on what we're calling the Law of Order and will explore police misconduct and civil rights from legal and societal perspectives.

We are fortunate to also have the support of several sponsors, including Altria, Dominion Energy, McGuireWoods LLP, Troutman Pepper, Truist, Blankingship & Keith, PC, Kaufman & Canoles, Landin Law Group PLLC, Spotts Fain, Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, Woods Rogers/Vandeventer Black, and Virginia CLE^®.

A world-class group of experts from various fields will review the subtleties of the laws surrounding civil rights and the latest developments in this field. Our spectacular group of panelists and moderators includes Roger Gregory, Chief Judge of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals; University of Virginia School of Law Dean Risa Goluboff; and Professor of Law at the University of South Carolina Seth W. Stoughton, who was a key witness in the trial of Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd.

These participants will be joined by leading attorneys and scholars, key players in law enforcement and government, college administrators, journalists, historians, directors of civil rights organizations, and more.
