Law School (David A. Harrison III Law Grounds)
(Map E, Building
17 [E2])
The School of Law offers J.D., LL.M., and S.J.D. degrees to several hundred
students each year. It currently occupies two buildings. The west wing
was built as the Darden School, designed by Hugh Stubbins & Associates
with W. E. Stainback (Col '28) and Louie L. Scribner (Col '29) and completed
in 1974. Clay Hall, the entrance building and east wing, was completed
in 1997 and named for Buckner Clay, Sr. (Law 1900), of Charleston, W.Va.
His sons, Lyell and Buckner Clay, donated $2 million to the Law School
in honor of their father. Caplin Pavilion, a new auditorium, is named
for Mortimer Caplin (Col '37, Law '40), commissioner of the Internal
Revenue Service during the Kennedy administration and a generous benefactor
of the University.
