Virginia Supreme Court Justice Donald W. Lemons will join the faculty of the Washington and Lee University law school this fall as Distinguished Professor of Judicial Studies.

Lemons will teach a course on appellate practice in the school’s new third-year program. An-nounced in March of this year, this program marks a departure from traditional legal education by engaging all third-year law students in a broad array of real-world and simulated applications of legal knowledge in order to provide a bridge from the study of legal theory to the actual practice of law.

Lemons previously has taught at the law schools at the University of Virginia and the University of Richmond.

“We are proud Justice Lemons has elected to join our faculty in moving forward with our new third-year curriculum,” said W&L Law Dean Rodney A. Smolla. “His course on appellate practice will elegantly combine legal theory about the nature of the judicial process with hands-on simulations of appellate practice to provide an enormously enriching educational experience for our students.”

Lemons graduated from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1976 and served as an assistant dean and assistant professor of law there for several years. After a successful career in private practice, he was appointed in 1995 to the Circuit Court for the City of Richmond by Gov. George Allen. In 1998 Lemons was elected by the General Assembly to the Court of Appeals and then to the Supreme Court in 2000. During the past eight years, he also has served as the John Marshall Professor of Judicial Studies at the University of Richmond law school.
