The Law School’s collection of catalogs dates from 1906, a time when there were only seven members of the teaching faculty, one law library staff member and thirty-four students. Many of the changes at the school that occurred over the generations are documented in these catalogs. These catalogs offered information on faculty, courses, policies, admission requirements and student lists. The catalogs are a rich source of information for researchers interested in anything from genealogy to the history of the University of Richmond School of Law and legal education.

University of Richmond Bulletin: The T.C. Williams School of Law in the University of Richmond Catalogue for 1942-1943
University of Richmond
General Statement:
A Law School was first established in Richmond College in 1870. In 1890 the family of the late Mr. T. C. Williams, who had been a devoted and useful trustee, donated $25,000 as the nucleus of an endowment for the Law School. In recognition of this gift, the name of the School was changed to the T. C. WILLIAMS SCHOOL OF LAW. At various times the School has received further generous gifts from members of the family of Mr. Williams. The largest of these gifts came through a bequest from Mr. T. C. Williams, Jr., who like his father, was long a trustee of Richmond College, and for twenty years was the efficient chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board. As a result of these several benefactions the endowment of the School of Law now amounts to $281,700.00. The Law building and lot are valued at $84,700.00 and the equipment at $40,000.
The T. C. Williams School of Law is firmly established as an integral part of the University of Richmond. The degrees in law are conferred by the corporation of the University of Richmond.

General Statement
The Richmond College Law School
The important facts about legal education have aroused the founders, trustees, instructors and friends of the Law School in Richmond College. The most determined efforts are now being made to hew out an improved road in the legal educa-tion of the South. Along with the complication in social affairs, due to our rapidly expanding industrialization, must arise and grow the highly-skilled, well-trained, socially-conscious Southern jurist. Our increased dignity and our growing in-fluence in the world make irresistible this demand upon us. Richmond College, in full time, hopes to do its part in this matter.
The geographical situation of the city, the use of all approved methods-lectures, text- and case-books; the requirements as to general education for admission (see page 10); the reasonable costs of attendance; the beneficence of the founders and friends; and the enthusiasm of the instructors, ensure the training in that mental elasticity so necessary in legal thinking, and give hope of the dawn of a brighter day in the development of law and lawyers of the South.

General Statements:
Location:
The founders of Richmond College showed rare wisdom and foresight in selecting a location for their institution. Richmond is not only the capital of Virginia, but is the best known city in the South, and one of the historic cities of the world. Enduring memorials of American heroes constantly teach lessons of patriotism and inspire young men with noble ideals. The busy city, with its varied manufactories and extensive commerce, reminds the student that the modern scholar must be practical as well as learned.
Richmond lies midway between the severe cold of the North and the relaxing heat of the South. The nine months of the scholastic year have few days either too cold or too hot for comfort in studying or in outdoor exercise. By its elevation— on hills opposite the Falls of the James—it is free alike from the malaria of tidewater and from the pulmonary and enteric diseases of the mountain region.
