On Saturday, Nov. 12, Boy Scouts from Portsmouth, Va., travelled to the Law School for a daylong introduction to law during which they satisfied the requirements for the Law Merit Badge.

Additional speakers included Russ Eley of the Virginia State Police, W&M Chancellor Professor of Law Fredric Lederer, director of the Center for Legal and Court Technology, and Larry Martin, a 1973 graduate of the Law School, of the Commonwealth's Attorneys' Services Council.
