Panel 2: Challenges from the Bar, 2001-10-26

 Item — Box: Audiocassettes 1

Scope and Contents

Lawyers must understand their clients' businesses in order to do the best job representing them, say four alumni panelists who work in law firms or in the world of commerce. Teaching law students how to think and write is still fundamental, but for lawyers choosing a corporate practice, an understanding of the intersection of law and business is also critical.

The panelists are:

  • Ralph H. Baxter, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Orrick, Herrington, and Sutcliffe
  • Jeffery L. Humber, Jr., Senior Vice President and Head, Global Diversity Group, Merrill Lynch
  • Gordon F. Rainey, Jr., Chairman, Executive Committee, Hunton and Williams
  • Lyn G. Walker, Partner, Shipman and Goodwin LLP


  • The moderator is:
  • George A. Rutherglen, O.M. Vicars Professor of Law


  • The content of this note was copied from page 11 of the Spring 2002 issue of UVA Lawyer.
