ORDER OF THE COIF

The Order of the Coif is a national scholastic honor society in law. Its purpose is "to foster a spirit of careful study and to mark in a fitting manner those who have attained a high grade of scholarship" in the study oflaw. The English Order of the Coifwas the most ancient and one of the most honored institutions of the common law. Its origins may antedate the Norman Conquest. The American Order of the Coif was founded in 1912. Membership in it is the highest academic honor a law student may achieve. It is equivalent to membership in Phi Beta Kappa for undergraduates, recognizing the scholastic achievement of students selected from the upper ten percent of their class. The 2002 inductees are denoted by an asterisk in the list of graduates.

AWARDS GIVEN AT GRADUATION

I'Anson, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia and first President of the Board of Directors of the National Center for State Courts.

The George Wythe and John Marshall Awards These awards have been made possible through the generosity of William & Mary graduates

Robert Friend Boyd and Sara Miller Boyd. The Wythe and Marshall Awards recognize exceptional character, leadership and selfless service to the Law School community. The Wythe Award goes to a member of the law school student body and the Marshall Award to a member of the faculty or staff.

Ti,e Thurgood Marshall Award Given annually by the William & Mary Law School Association, the Thurgood Marshall award
