25 years of leadership

The bar exam can feel like an overwhelming final challenge for graduating students. But for the past 25 years, professor Emmeline (Emmy) Reeves has been a steady guide through this time for Richmond Law students as leader of the school’s Bar Preparation Program.

“Supporting our graduates — both academically and emotionally — as they tackle the final hurdle to licensure and seeing their joy and pride upon being admitted to the bar has been such a rewarding experience for me,” Reeves said.

With her leadership, the program has expanded to include multiple for-credit courses, additional faculty, a summer intensive, and a number of other programmatic offerings to meet the needs of students.

“I’m so grateful that the law school provides substantial resources to support our graduates during this critical process,” she said.
