Gov. Kaine addresses Law students

Gov. Tim Kaine addressed University law students this weekend, encouraging them to pursue careers in public service. The event, held Saturday, was part of the eighth annual Conference on Public Service & the Law, which addresses issues of social justice both in the United States and the world at large. The conference was organized entirely by graduate students, an effort that illustrates their dedication to the University and to public service, said Law School Dean John Jeffries in his introduction. Kaine also recognized undergraduate and graduate students' commitment to public service. He then offered five tips for beginning a public service career.

"Every institution has a different rate of cost-sharing," Sheehy said.
