Board of Advisors

The Vanderbilt Law School Board of Advisors plays a crucial role in carrying out the school’s mission of providing an unparalleled legal education to students and an intellectually vibrant community in which faculty can pursue teaching and scholarly excellence. The Board's members are valued stakeholders who are committed to:

  • Supporting the school’s academic programs by lending input regarding curriculum enhancement and/or serving as adjunct faculty,
  • Offering advice and counsel as the school’s academic programs evolve,
  • Investing in the school financially and encouraging other alumni and friends to do the same,
  • Reaching out to prospective students with strong potential and sharing the Vanderbilt Law School experience to attract the brightest and most talented to Vanderbilt,
  • Mentoring students and recent graduates, and
  • Recruiting and interviewing students for placement in exciting careers in both the private and public sectors.

The Board of Advisors meets at the law school each fall during Reunion Weekend and each spring in conjunction with the annual Founders Circle Dinner. Members serve three-year terms and a member of the most recent graduating class serves a one-year term. Pat Mulloy (JD'77)  is currently serving as the Board President (Fall 2011- Spring 2013).
