The Political and Social Thought Club at UVA brings together students to discuss, debate, engage with, and learn about politics, sociology, and political philosophy in a club setting. The club hosts debates, faculty talks, and research about these subjects. We provide a forum for UVA faculty members to present and discuss their original research related to politics, sociology, and political philosophy to UVA students in club meetings. The PST Club at UVA also runs an academic journal, the Virginia Journal for Political and Social Thought, for the purpose of reviewing and publishing original student papers in politics, sociology, and political philosophy.

The Roosevelt Society is a nonpartisan political discussion club welcoming members from all across the political spectrum.  Members may participate in weekly, hour-long (or less) discussions on a predefined topic (usually related to pertinent current events). Members may also participate in fireside chats (daily conversations over lunch with club officers) and media nights (weekly showings of movies, documentaries, and debates). The Roosevelt Society is discussion-based (as opposed to debate) and encourages members to question and reflect on their own political views.  The variety of topics discussed serve as an important reminder that one does not need to side with a specific party on every political issue.

The Rural Law Student Association at UVA Law (RLSA)  is an organization that advocates for increased legal representation in rural communities. Rural communities serve as the principal providers of agriculture and natural resources while also serving as stewards of an immense percentage of privately held land in the United States. Rural areas make up 97% of the land area of the U.S. and about 20% of the U.S. population. Despite the importance of these communities, they are legally underserved. The ABA has published articles on the phenomenon of legal deserts in rural areas (i.e., having less than one attorney per one thousand residents). These legal deserts have created significant legal inequity in rural communities, and RLSA aims to address those inequities.

Following a year of development, the UVa Speaking Center launched in Spring 2021 as a student-led organization to help students improve their public speaking skills. Central to the Center’s mission is providing free and accessible resources. Through online scheduling, students (undergraduate or graduate) can book a 15, 30, or 50-minute consulting session with a student consultant who provides in-depth and hands-on assistance for pre-recorded or live speeches/presentations, group projects, job interviews, and general anxiety. Ultimately, students help their fellow students improve their public speaking skills in a welcoming and accessible way.

ECVC is the Law School’s hub for transactional work. While we have a focus on emerging companies and venture capital, the organizations as a whole seeks to create opportunities to learn, network, and socialize for students who are interested in transactional practice. We plan on fulfilling our mission statement by setting up crash courses for law students interested in entrepreneurial law, venture capital, and other transactional law practices, by establishing a mentorship program to foster growth and connection, hosting an annual transactional law competition along with networking events, and bringing guest speakers to the Law School. We also plan to co-host and collaborate with organizations both within the Law School and other schools within the University (iLab, Darden, Batten, etc.).
