I am not in law school, but someday hope to be. If and when I get there, I hope to be lucky enough to study under someone such as UVA law and history professor, Risa Goluboff.

Her accomplishments in the field of 20th century American legal and constitutional history have landed her some of the highest honors in academia at the University.

It is not often that one gets the opportunity to explore the inquisitive mind of one of their favorite artists. Luckily for me, one of mine happens to be a professor of the University’s McIntire Department of Art.
