T. C. Williams School of Law, University of Richmond: Torts Quiz, 26 Oct 1966

This torts quiz, given by law school dean and professor William T. Muse on October 26, 1966, consists of one question: A quarreled with B and C on the sidewalk of a downtown street. During the quarrel, A threw a heavy wrench at B and C intending that it kill one or both of them. The wrench missed both B and C and struck and smashed an antique urn being carried under her arm by D. E, D\u27s husband, watched the incident in great anxiety from the window of his nearby antique shop and wanted to come to the aid of D but feared he would be shot if he left the shop. B was not aware of the wrench being thrown until sometime later when C told him. D was greatly startled but not in fear of harm, and she was in no wise physically injured. What torts, if any, have been committed? By whom? Against whom? Why? Why not?https://scholarship.richmond.edu/historicexams/1060/thumbnail.jp

University of Richmond Bulletin: Catalog of the T.C. Williams School of Law for 2008-2010

The educational program of the law school is designed to equip its graduates to render the highest quality of legal services, while instilling a sense of professional responsibility. Students are trained in the analysis and solution of legal problems by the application of logical reasoning. The course of study is not designed to teach legal rules, but rather to provide a foundation for the application and analysis of the law and the development of professional skills. The traditional case method of instruction is used in many courses. However, clinical education and courses devoted to various professional skills are increasingly prominent. The full-time faculty is augmented by a number of adjunct faculty members, lawyers and judges, who offer courses in their areas of expertise. An excellent faculty offers a curriculum that is well balanced in theoretical and practical courses and carefully selected to prepare the graduate for the successful practice of law.https://scholarship.richmond.edu/law-catalogues/1075/thumbnail.jp

T. C. Williams School of Law, University of Richmond: Torts Exam, 21 May 1969

This torts exam, given by law school dean and professor William T. Muse on May 21, 1969, begins with the question: A, a stranger, while walking near B\u27s barn over B\u27s open and unfenced fields, heard loud cries. He ran into the barn where he found B lying on the floor and C threatening D with a gun. A struck at C with a pitchfork. D, who with B and C had been rehearsing a melodrama, rushed at A as soon as he saw what was happening in order to prevent serious harm to C. In the ensuing struggle A stepped back onto a trapdoor with defective hinges and fell into the manure cellar. Despite A\u27s cries that he could find no way out, B, C, and D left without letting down a ladder. After feeling around in the dark, A finally made his escape through a door. What are the tort liabilities, if any, of the parties? Why? Why not?https://scholarship.richmond.edu/historicexams/1065/thumbnail.jp

University of Richmond Bulletin: Catalogue of the T.C. Williams School of Law for 1930-1931

General Statement: A Law School was first established in Richmond College in 1870. From the beginning there were able professors, but financial support was uncertain. In 1890 the family of the late Mr. T. C. Williams, who had been a devoted and useful trustee, donated $25,000 as the nucleus of an endowment for the Law School. In recognition of this gift, the name of the School was changed to the T. C. WILLIAMS SCHOOL OF LAW. At various times the School has received further generous gifts from members of the family of Mr. Williams. The largest of these gifts came through a bequest from Mr. T. C. Williams, Jr., who like his father, was long a trustee of Richmond College, and for twenty years was the efficient chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board. As a result of these several benefactions the endowment of the T. C. Williams School of Law now amounts to$272,000.00. The Law building and lot are valued at $84,700.00 and the equipment at$30,000. The T. C. Williams School of Law is now firmly established as an integral part of the University of Richmond. The degrees in law are conferred by the corporation of the University of Richmond.https://scholarship.richmond.edu/law-catalogues/1014/thumbnail.jp
