Columbia first established an in-house legal department in 1974. Before 1974, an outside law firm acted as counsel to the University. During this period any member of the University Community seeking legal services called directly on outside counsel. Starting in the late 1960`s, the cost of this uncontrolled use of outside lawyers became very high. To control these costs, the inside legal department (now the Office of the General Counsel) has since coordinated all outside legal services. As part of this control, outside law firms can be retained only by the Office of the General Counsel (OGC) and bills for outside legal services will be paid only if the work was initiated or approved by OGC. To assure the integrity and independence of these decisions and of the legal services rendered to the University, the General Counsel reports directly to the President and the Trustees. OGC represents the legal interests of the entire University, including such geographically separate entities as the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Rockland County, Nevis Laboratories in Westchester County, Reid Hall in Paris, and the entire Columbia Medical Center (formerly Health Sciences campus) in Washington Heights. At present the office consists of the General Counsel, the Deputy General Counsel, 19 Associate General Counsels, an Assistant General Counsel, 3 paralegals, a Director of Budget & Human Resources, business manager, file manager, secretarial and clerical support staff and student help. The entire office resides in Low Library. The ongoing legal business of the University involves a broad array of services in connection with financings, contracts, trusts and estates, real estate and tax matters, labor and employment issues, commercial litigation, clinical trials, and science and technology agreements and licensing. All OGC attorneys are experienced in handling contract and general business legal matters, and all have a broad capability to handle the great variety of legal problems which arise in the context of a large university with substantial financial interests and real property ownership, in addition to the human problems which arise in the context of a large and diverse community.
Located in Fredericksburg, VA – between the nation`s capitol and state`s capitol – University of Mary Washington offers more than sixty undergraduate majors, minors, and courses of study through the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business, and College of Education. This isn`t an education on auto-pilot. We`re one of the top public liberal arts and sciences universities in the nation. (Just check out our rankings in the most prestigious selective guides.) We`ll challenge you to make the connections that aren`t obvious: the beauty in science and the logic in theater. We`ll help you imagine broadly and think deeply. We`ll encourage you to look for the wisdom hidden inside every mistake you`ve ever made. Don`t worry – you`ll also have plenty of time for Facebook, Frisbee, and fun. This is a close-knit campus where friends are like family and opportunity bubbles up all around you. You`ll find yourself laughing out loud in the residence halls, kicking back in the Eagle`s Nest, working out in the fitness center, and generally having a great time wherever you run into good friends, which is pretty much everywhere. But we don`t make things any simpler than they should be, because you`re not going to college to be less than you are. With innovative and accessible master teachers, you`ll be inspired to think critically, engage meaningfully, and communicate effectively. Our small, highly interactive classes motivate students to prepare for, participate in, and embrace new knowledge so that they get the most out of their educational investment. Our graduates are world ready. They`re what employers are looking for: a resourceful, articulate, adaptable, disciplined problem-solver and critical thinker.
