Assigned Projects
- Judicial career (with a citation bent) - Jim
- Case reports - Fred (but what aspect of the case reports? We should summarize each of the more interesting cases and perhaps comment on Wythe's opinion versus the Court of Appeals. So we need a page for every case report?)
- Letters and papers - Andy, Linda and summer students
- Descriptions of our copies of Wythe Collection books - Linda and summer students
- Scans of title pages and illustrations from each Wythe Collection book - Linda and summer students
- Pictures of each signature or bookplate from the Known Surviving Wythe Volumes - Steve and Linda
- Duval-Jefferson correspondence regarding Wythe's death and his will - Linda
Needs
- Information about each book in the George Wythe Collection as it relates to history of legal education or history of law - this could include publishing history as well
- Aspects of Wythe's Life
- Early life
- Career as a Lawyer
- Early Career as a Politician (including service as clerk in House of Burgesses to Privileges and Elections, and Propositions and Grievances Committees)
- Revolutionary Activities (including Continental Congress)
- Rivalry with Edmund Pendleton
- Position on Slavery
- Teaching Career
- Chair of Professor of Law and Police - do we want a separate page to discuss the evolution of this position?
- Wythe's Students? Should this be separate from his teaching career?
- Reactions to Wythe's death by leaders of the day, students, etc. Someone should check Marshall papers and Tucker-Coleman papers at Swem.
