Vanderbilt Law School National Council
The Vanderbilt Law School National Council 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 Council’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 National Council meets at the law school each fall and spring. Currently, the Council is comprised of 51 members who reflect a broad cross-section of the law school’s alumni network in terms of geography, profession, gender, ethnicity and class year. Members serve three-year terms and a recent graduate serves a one-year term as an ex officio member. Frank Garrison began serving a two-year term as President of the Council in spring of 2007.
