Interviews with Prince William County Bar Association Members
In an effort to capture the living history of the Prince William County Bar Association, a series of interviews were conducted of our most senior members, between 1999 and 2016. The interviews are presented here, roughly in order of law school graduation.
We hope these interviews will provide a view of the earliest days of the PWC Bar, its members, and their impact on the local judicial system and the developing community. Slight factual inconsistencies should be expected due to varying personal recollections. Interviews were generally concluded with the law school class of 1972. Exceptions include retired judges and the first female members of the Association.
