Our MissionTo promote, through philanthropy, the rule of law, access to justice, and law-related education.

We believe that no resident of Virginia should ever be

denied meaningful access to justice. Through our

passion, people, and partnerships, the Virginia Law Foundation

is determined and proud to make a meaningful impact on the

lives of real people to best fulfill our lofty mission.

Our grant program supports law-related projects throughout

the Commonwealth that:

• Offer improved access to legal assistance for the

underserved, either directly or by facilitating the

coordination of better-integrated networks of competent,

affordable legal representation and assistance.

• Cultivate an appreciation and understanding of the Rule

of Law in society as a foundation of peace, stability, and

prosperity.

• Provide education in support of the above ideals

Our Fellows program encourages civic-mindedness and

recognizes excellence in the practice of law and public service.

Virginia CLE® provides not-for-profit continuing education

seminars and publications by Virginia lawyers, for Virginia

lawyers.

I am pleased to report that the effort to revitalize and

modernize the Virginia Law Foundation continued during

the past year, with major changes in the governance of

the Foundation. Through the efforts of Board member

Steve Busch (Fellows Class of 2012), we have rewritten our

bylaws and made significant changes in the operation of the

Foundation. Most important, in my view, is the removal of the

walls that had existed between the Virginia Law Foundation

and its Continuing Legal Education Committee.

The success of Virginia CLE® under the leadership of Ray

White has opened the door to many improvements of the

Foundation. The move of the offices to Charlottesville

continues to reduce the operating expense of the Foundation

while at the same time enabling the Foundation to benefit

from the close proximity to Virginia CLE®. Having Ray

serve as the director of both organizations has brought

us the success that we hoped for and has helped both

organizations thrive. Teresa Moore has been simply terrific in

the daily administration of the Foundation. Now that the two

organizations are operating as one, Virginia’s lawyers should

see significant improvement in the programs of both as well

as an increase in the grant-making ability of the Foundation.

The financial status of the Foundation is as good as it has

been in many years. We continue to process and make

grants to organizations that promote access to justice, the

rule of law, and law-related education. We will have awarded

over $325,000 in grants this past year to eleven different

organizations. These grants are detailed later in this report.

In the aftermath of the Virginia State Bar ending its Midyear

Legal Seminar after forty-two years, Virginia CLE® is offering

a seminar in London, which promises to continue the tradition

of lawyers and judges traveling and learning together in an

atmosphere of collegiality. Additionally, the Foundation and

Virginia CLE® worked together to bring John Dean to the

Letter from the Foundation President

5

Virginia Holocaust Museum for a CLE ethics program focusing

on the history of Watergate and the ethical consideration

facing the lawyers in the Nixon White House. Later that day,

the Rule of Law Award was presented to Dr. Charles Sydnor

by the Holocaust Museum and the Foundation. An impressive

turnout of both lawyers and non-lawyers enjoyed the day at

the Museum. The other Experience CLE programs begun under

President Epps continue to be a success, including The Second

Annual Constitutional Institute at George Washington’s Mount

Vernon and CLE programs paired with Nationals baseball,

Wizards basketball, and Capitals hockey games.

Our Fellows have been organized, and the future looks

bright for the broadening of participation in the Foundation.

In January, we inducted twenty-one new Fellows. Judge

Manny Capsalis (Fellows Class of 2008) is the new Chair of the

Fellows Committee, and the Foundation is looking forward to

Judge Capsalis injecting into the Fellows programs the same

creativity and energy that he brought to the Virginia State Bar.

As I say at the Board meetings, it looks like the efforts of the past

few presidents and Ray White have indeed turned the Virginia

Law Foundation ship around in the water and have it moving in

the right direction. There is no doubt that under the leadership

of Pia Trigiani (Fellows Class of 2013) and Steve Busch, we

will continue to be the philanthropic arm of Virginia’s legal

community and a vital contributor to the three-prong mission

that we have devoted ourselves to for the past forty-two years.

It has been an honor and a privilege to be your president and

to work with so many talented and devoted people. Thank

you for that privilege.

Sincerely yours,

Irving M. Blank

The Virginia Law Foundation has been reborn as a vibrant charity better equipped to help ensure that no Virginian is denied meaningful access to justice.

Maintaining an organization with the resources required to meet the philanthropic

needs of its constituents is an ongoing struggle for most foundations serving the

legal community. While the Virginia Law Foundation has done a laudable job

serving these needs, we have not been immune to the struggle to make ends meet.

Thus, in April 2016, the Foundation formalized our operational relationship with our

subsidiary, Virginia CLE®. Now, with a shared staff and a fresh infusion of necessary

yet modest financial resources, the Virginia Law Foundation has never been better

situated to meet the needs of legally underserved Virginians.

To date, the Foundation has provided over $24 million in grants to support

organizations offering access to legal assistance for the underserved, supporting rule

of law training in our schools, and providing legal education of the highest quality.

Still, for an organization that has such a broad interpersonal and financial reach

across the Commonwealth, we have recently been referred to as “Virginia’s best

kept secret.” While this description may have been rightfully attributed to the

Foundation up until now, we are poised to make it a thing of the past. What follows

will describe precisely how we intend to do so.

Our new logo, highlighting the Foundation’s connection with Virginia CLE®

In addition to a more modern look and feel, our new logo illustrates our connection

with Virginia CLE®. There is no better vehicle for promoting the Foundation’s good

works than through this affiliation, as nearly 40% of Virginia’s lawyers turned to

Virginia CLE® last year for their continuing legal education needs.

And so, Virginia CLE®’s “extended logo” that sits atop the www.vacle.org website,

on emails, and on print materials has also been updated to include the Foundation’s

name. Additionally, Virginia CLE® emails now include a link to

the Foundation’s new website, providing instant access to our

philanthropic success stories.

The State of the Foundationby Ray White, Executive Director

Our new website shares the remarkable stories of those directly helped by grants from the Foundation

“Ray: The video that [new Foundation filmmakers]

Hailey and Bobby did on [cancer survivor] Chris and

Almon is fabulous! I must say that I did get quite

emotional watching it. It is so good. Thank you and the

VLF for doing the video. As soon as we premiere it at the

breakfast, I want to put it on our website.”Denise Kranich

Executive Director, Legal Information Network for Cancer (LINC)2015, 2016 Virginia Law Foundation Grant Recipient

If there is one thing that best defines the NEW Virginia Law

Foundation, it is the enhanced online presence we now

project through our recently launched, state-of-the-art,

visually driven website. Demonstrating the real impact we

have on real people, our new site is brimming with video

stories of those we help most and those among us who so

greatly contribute to our success in doing so.

Ours are stories about the people, the passion, and the

partnerships that define our beloved Foundation. They are

stories that will take you on an emotionally compelling journey

where you’ll hear directly from your friends and colleagues

about what it means to be a Fellow, why our constituents invest

in our mission, and what is most gratifying about donating time

to serve the Foundation. And perhaps most importantly, you will

learn from people you have probably never met, as they

describe the impact the Foundation makes on the lives of real

people in our local communities and across the Commonwealth.

I am proud to say that in developing the concept and design of this new website, I

was joined by a tireless working group of Virginia CLE®’s Senior Director of

Marketing and Communications Jennifer Oppenheimer and Senior Director of

Technology John McCullough. I should mention, too, that this world-class result

would not have been possible without the unparalleled expertise of the design

firm managing this process with us from beginning to end, Hatch Concept Studio

in Bristol, England.

See our new film stories at www.virginialawfoundation.org.

And, the remarkable videos anchoring our new site would not exist without the

combined efforts of Foundation Director of Operations Teresa Moore and

Virginia CLE®’s Director of Outreach Marcus Gaither. Along with our talented new

filmmakers Hailey Peterson and Bobby Swackhamer, they spent countless hours

this past summer visiting with and hearing the stories of people directly helped by

grants from the Virginia Law Foundation. Only after coming to fully understand the

depth of the problems faced by these Virginians, and the lengths to which our grant

recipients have gone to assist them, did we shoot the first frame. And it shows.

The films are spectacular. I invite you to go to www.virginialawfoundation.org right

now and see for yourself. They will make you smile, and they may even make you

cry. They may take your breath away, but above all, they will make you proud to be

a part of the Virginia Law Foundation.

Engaging our Fellows

Virginia Law Foundation Fellows are

the embodiment of what it means to

be a citizen lawyer. They not only

serve their clients at the highest level

of practice, but they also volunteer

on behalf of countless civic causes,

while also generously donating their

time and/or financial support to

further the Foundation’s mission.

One recent example of their shared

commitment to the highest ideals of

the legal profession can be found in the large number of Fellows who stepped

forward to volunteer their time to help Virginia CLE® create and teach what is now

known as the W. Scott Street III Reciprocity Program. This reciprocity program helps

educate attorneys eligible for Virginia bar admission without taking the bar exam. Not

only did these Fellows provide the necessary training to help ensure that these new

attorneys will maintain the highest level of law practice in the Commonwealth, but

they also enabled the Foundation to generate considerable revenue through the sale

of this course — funds that have been used to support our mission-related work.

Our Fellows are, in so many ways, the lifeblood of the Virginia Law Foundation.

One of my critical goals is to shine a new and bright light upon all they do for the

Foundation and for the citizens of Virginia. We will feature them on our new

website, in our new regular column in The Virginia Lawyer, and wherever else

possible, as when it comes to highlighting the good works of our Fellows in new,

creative, and philanthropic ways, as the old song goes, “We’ve Only Just Begun.”

Our Inaugural Fundraising Gala and Charity Golf Tournament

“First, congrats. It is difficult to get these events off the ground, and y’all

did an amazing job. The first priority is putting on an awesome event so

people will come back and create a buzz. You did both.”

Jonathan Blank, Esq.Partner, McGuireWoods, Virginia Law Foundation Fellow, Class of 2013

This September, the Virginia Law Foundation partnered with the Legal Aid Justice

Center and the Central Virginia Legal Aid Society to start what we hope will be a

long tradition of raising organizational awareness, celebrating our fellowship in the

fight to bring access to justice to all Virginians, and generating additional financial

support to aid in this fight, all while having just a plain old good time together.

Nearly one hundred guests joined us for

a gala and golf tournament at the

spectacular Independence Golf Club in

Midlothian. We danced Saturday night

away to the music of Rock and Roll Hall

of Fame legend Little Anthony and then

tore the golf course up (not literally —

except for me!) the following Monday.

By all accounts, both gala attendees

and golfers alike had a most wonderful

time, while our twenty-six sponsors

generously supported the events with

thousands of dollars. These sponsors,

from all corners of the legal and

business community, are listed on

our website, and we hope you will

appreciate their generosity as much

as we do.

We are hoping to continue to grow the

attendance for years to come and make

this THE event to which all of Virginia’s legal community will look forward to

sharing in. I should note, too, that Jonathan Blank (Fellows Class of 2013) and

Steve Isaacs (Fellows Class of 2014) were instrumental in making this event all it

could be, and we are truly grateful.Continued

Our bar association outreach

Over this past year, our outreach initiative to Virginia’s state and local bar

associations has been raising an awareness of the Foundation’s good works across

the Commonwealth. This new endeavor, led by Marcus Gaither and me, has already

resulted in a variety of mutually beneficial projects with the Old Dominion Bar

Association, the South Hampton Roads Bar Association, the Roanoke Bar

Association, the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Bar Association, the Norfolk &

Portsmouth Bar Association, and the Virginia State Bar.

These projects include our providing gratis CLE programs, filmmaking collaborations

between the Foundation’s new film team and the Virginia State Bar, faculty and

author referrals from bar groups for Virginia CLE, member discounts to Virginia CLE®

programs, and information sharing in support of potential grant applications.

Our expanded presence at Virginia CLE® experiential programs

Subject: Experience Nashville with Virginia CLE: Ethics CLE, 2 Nights at Opryland, and Bluebird Cafe Concert

“… I want to commend you on putting together

CLE’s plus events like this one. I would absolutely

sign up for this or for some of the others like CLE

plus a sporting event or a play or other interesting

activities. Good work!”Customer email to Virginia CLE

Virginia CLE® proudly offers seminars and books of the highest quality to help

lawyers best serve their clients. We’re the market leader by far among the hundreds

of organizations, associations, and firms providing this service. This prominence is

the result of our staff’s hard work, our dedication to outstanding customer service,

and the generosity of volunteer faculty and authors who provided nearly $1 million

worth of in-kind service in 2015.

Still, rather than simply selling products and services, at the very top of my list of goals

is to build responsive, long-term relationships between the Virginia legal community,

the Virginia Law Foundation, and Virginia CLE®. One way I’ve sought to reach this

goal is to encourage our Program Attorneys to find entertaining and creative ways to

enhance the continuing legal education experience. Led by Rich DiMeglio and

Brian Bill, Virginia CLE® recently started offering what we call Experience CLE —

educational training combined with historical, sporting, and cultural events.

11

From CLE at Nationals Park to CLE at the American

Shakespeare Center, from International Destination CLE to

CLE with Former Nixon White House Counsel John Dean at

the Virginia Holocaust Museum — and with receptions

sponsored by the Virginia Law Foundation and by individual

Fellows such as Jay Weinberg (Fellows Class of 2002) — the

response has been extraordinary.

We also remain especially proud of

our Constitutional Institute at

George Washington’s Mount Vernon,

the uniquely Virginian experience

that just enjoyed a second sold-out

year. We are also excited to unveil

our Experience Nashville with

Virginia CLE®: Ethics CLE, Two

Nights at Opryland, and Private

Bluebird Cafe Concert this December. For more information on current and future

Experience CLE programs, please visit www.vacle.org/experience.

The future

As you can see, with our consolidation of operations with Virginia CLE®, the

Virginia Law Foundation is better situated than ever to help ensure that no

Virginian is denied meaningful access to justice and to engage our Fellows to

make sure that is so.

As I’ve previously stated, through the generosity of our supporters, along with our

people, our passion, and our partnerships, the Virginia Law Foundation is able to

provide critical funding to many organizations that address otherwise unmet legal

needs across the Commonwealth. In the forty-two years since our inception, we

have provided over $24 million in grants. My goal now is to provide double that

level of support… in half the time.

And so to now close, please allow me to sincerely thank you for your interest, your

shared commitment to what we do, and your never-ending support. And let me

also assure you that to a person, our staff, officers, and directors will continue to be

thoughtful, creative, and careful stewards of our beloved Virginia Law Foundation

and that we will always be deeply grateful for your help.

2016 Grants Awarded

CAPITAL AREA IMMIGRANTS’ RIGHTS COALITION – $65,000The newest programmatic initiative of the Capital Area Immigrants’ Rights

Coalition (CAIR), the Virginia Justice Program (VJP), strives to ensure that non-

citizens receive equal justice in Virginia criminal courts. It provides support to

members of Virginia’s criminal defense bar in their representation of non-citizen

defendants, including training on the immigration consequences of Virginia

offenses, individual case consultations, and regularly updated legal resource

materials regarding the immigration consequences of Virginia offenses.

HILL TUCKER PRE-LAW INSTITUTE – $15,000Named for legendary civil rights

attorneys Oliver Hill and Samuel

Tucker, the Oliver Hill/Samuel Tucker

Pre-Law Institute reaches future

lawyers at an early age to provide

them with exposure to and the

opportunity to explore the legal

profession, all at no cost to the

participants.

For one week, high school students

from all over Virginia are introduced to

the legal profession by living on a

college campus and attending mock

classes and seminars on career opportunities in the law, test taking strategies,

and the college admissions process. The students meet with law school

professors, judges, guest lecturers, and state and local bar association members.

The students participate in other programs geared to developing them as all-

around professional individuals, such as a networking social and an etiquette

dinner. At the end of the week, the students participate in a mock trial. The

Institute culminates in a graduation banquet, where a prominent minority

member of the bar is the featured speaker.

LAWYERS HELPING LAWYERS – $22,000Lawyers Helping Lawyers helps Virginia’s legal professionals with debilitating

addiction or mental health conditions take the first steps toward recovery with

confidential, 24-hour assistance. The program provides many services, including

verification of a problem, planning and implementing interventions, referral to

treatment providers, support from and for peers, support for family members,

establishing and monitoring rehabilitation contracts, and assisting and identifying

financial resources for treatment.

The Lawyers Helping Lawyers Strategic Initiative will help the organization

formulate a strategic plan to generate the necessary resources to support broader

educational outreach to the legal community and additional mental health and

substance abuse services to those in need.

LEGAL INFORMATION NETWORK FOR CANCER – $10,000The Central Virginia-based Legal Information Network for

Cancer (LINC) has been linking people with resources that

ease the day-to-day challenges of cancer for 20 years,

envisioning a community where no cancer patient goes

without needed support services.

LINC connects cancer patients and their families with legal

assistance, financial guidance, and community resources, and

by doing so, to the efforts of some of Virginia’s most

dedicated volunteer attorneys. These attorneys, as well as

accountants and other professionals who work for LINC on a pro bono basis, can

help cancer patients solve many of the problems they face – eviction, bankruptcy,

custody battles, employment security, and similar worries.

PUBLIC SERVICE INTERNSHIPS – $50,000Supported by the Virginia Law Foundation since 1990, public service internships for

first- and second-year law students help bring to light the importance of public

interest and pro bono work. Each of Virginia’s eight American Bar Association-

accredited law schools receives funding for public service internships during the

summer.

The students work under the supervision of an attorney. The work they complete

varies widely, depending on the missions and caseloads of their host organizations.

Some students gain experience working on individual client matters, and some

work on projects affecting many clients in the organization’s service area.

TAHIRIH JUSTICE CENTER – $25,000

Tahirih Justice Center’s Falls Church

office meets the urgent and emerging

legal needs of low-income immigrant

women and children throughout

Northern Virginia facing gender-based

violence, including domestic violence

and sexual assault, female genital

mutilation, trafficking, and forced

marriage. The Holistic Legal Services

for Immigrant Women and Girls in the

Wake of Extreme Violence Project

provides access to justice for low-income immigrant women and girls to enable

them to obtain the legal protections that form the foundation of a safe, self-

sufficient life, including legal status, work authorization, and family reunification.

VBA CAPITAL DEFENSE WORKSHOP – $23,400

The only educational program that covers both the forensics and litigation training

requirements for Virginia lawyers representing defendants charged with capital

murder, the goals of this workshop are to (1) maintain/increase the current level of

qualified lawyers certified to accept capital cases; (2) provide attendees additional

insight regarding national developments in death penalty litigation; and (3) enhance

participants’ overall level of skills and productivity as representatives of capital

defendants.

This is the 21st year of the Virginia Law Foundation’s financial support, which

allows the workshop to be presented with only a nominal charge to registrants.

Each year, up to 250 lawyers receive the training to help them meet standards set

by the Virginia Supreme Court and the Virginia Indigent Defense Commission, in

conjunction with the Virginia State Bar, for the defense of capital cases in Virginia.

VIRGINIA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM – $10,000

In 2016, the Virginia Holocaust Museum will host a traveling exhibit, “Deadly

Medicine: Creating the Master Race.” The exhibit traces the eugenics movement

from the early 20th century to the Third Reich’s genocidal ambitions. Also

examined through supplemental programs, seminars, and guided tours will be

Virginia’s role in U.S. legislation, medical ethics, legal responsibilities, an

individual’s rights, and the role society played in the pseudo-science movement.

21

VIRGINIA POVERTY LAW CENTER – $20,000

For over three decades, Virginia Poverty Law Center (VPLC) has been providing

leadership, support, training, public education, and advocacy to address the civil

legal needs of Virginia’s low-income population.

VPLC holds an annual conference on legal issues relating to poverty. The three-day

conference is comprised of approximately thirty training sessions on issues

including consumer, health, family, housing, and other areas of civil poverty law.

The project serves all of Virginia with the goal of educating legal aid attorneys and

staff on those issues that most impact low-income Virginians. It also provides

attorneys with the opportunity to earn the required number of CLE credits at little

or no cost and provides a meeting ground for legal aid attorneys and staff to

discuss the latest developments in the valuable work they do.

VLF / VBA RULE OF LAW PROJECT – $75,000

The Rule of Law Project seeks to

fundamentally change the way the rule

of law is taught in America’s schools. It

is a unique educational program that

pairs members of local bar associations

with middle school civics teachers to

educate students about the origin,

meaning, and applicability of the rule of

law as the basis of democratic ideals

and institutions. This collaboration

among teachers, lawyers, and judges

empowers students at a formative age

to become active and engaged citizens

as adults and serves as a model

program easily adaptable to social

studies classes at any grade level.
