The University of Virginia School of Law announced Tuesday that second-year student Tiffany Mickel has been named as editor-in-chief of the Virginia Law Review. She is the first Black person to hold the position in the publication’s 108-year history.
As editor-in-chief, she hopes to diversify authorship of law review content and expand the publication’s online presence.
“As always, we are committed to fostering constructive legal discourse among students, professors, jurists and other academics,” she said in a statement. “We aim to publish original scholarship that explores changing economic, political and technological conditions in society. And, in realizing this mission, we strive to value and promote the contribution of diverse viewpoints.
