Today we launch Slavery & the UVA School of Law, a new website and digital archive that explores the law school's historical connections to slavery. http://slavery.law.virginia.edu/ 
Digitized lecture notes kept by UVA's 1st law students make up the core of this website. They reveal how slavery was taught and learned in the early law school classroom. http://slavery.law.virginia.edu/ 
The website includes interpretive essays as well as profiles and names of the enslaved workers held in bondage by UVA Law faculty and on the former plantation site that now comprises North Grounds. http://slavery.law.virginia.edu/ 
This project seeks to spur research about slavery in UVA Law's early curriculum as well as the contributions of UVA Law and American legal education to matters of justice and injustice, human liberty and bondage, and the institutions of law and slavery.

We invite you to explore this website, joining us and others on Grounds as we strive to provide the fullest account possible of UVA Law's historical ties to slavery. #slaveryuva http://slavery.law.virginia.edu/
