The Supreme Court of Virginia’s Oral History Program began in 2007 as a project of the now-inactive Supreme Court of Virginia Historical Commission, which was created by Chief Justice Leroy R. Hassell, Sr. Since then, the Virginia State Law Library has conducted and preserved oral history interviews of Virginia justices, judges, court staff, and others.
This website provides access to complete audio recordings and transcripts of interviews. Short video clips of Oral History Highlights are also available for select interviews. For more information, or for access to the video files, contact the Virginia State Law Library.
