THE HONORABLE JOHN REID EDWARDS

Born in South Carolina, John Edwards grew up in Robbins, North Carolina, the state he represented in the United States Senate until January of this year. His father worked in textile mills; his mother ran a shop and worked at the post office. John Edwards was the first person in his family to go to college. He paid his way through North Carolina State University, graduating with high honors in 1974. He then earned a J.D. with honors in 1977 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

John met his wife, Elizabeth Anania, while both were law students at UNC. The Saturday after taking the bar exam, they were married and then had a two-day honeymoon in Williamsburg.

The Edwards have four children. Their oldest son, Wade, died in 1996. His parents were instrumental in creating educational opportunities for others: the Wade Edwards Foundation (for college scholarships) and Wade Edwards Learning Labs (to give youngsters after-school access to computers and technology tutoring).

After an extraordinarily successful career as a trial lawyer, John Edwards sought public office in 1998, as he and his son Wade had discussed his possibly doing. He was elected to the United States Senate during his first foray into elective politics, defeating an incumbent. In the Senate, he focused on health care, schools, civil liberties, Social Security and Medicare, and campaign finance reform. A member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, he also worked on defense and homeland security, authoring legislation on cyber, bio and port security. Senator Edwards was the Democratic candidate for Vice President in 2004.

John Edwards was recently named a part-time law professor at Chapel Hill, where he will lead a new Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity.

ORDER OF THE COIF

The Order ofthe Coif is a national scholastic honor society in law. Its purpose is "to foster a spirit of careful study and to mark in a fitting manner those who have attained a high grade of scholarship" in the study of law. The English Order of the Coif was the most ancient and one of the most honored institutions of the common law. Its origins may antedate the Norman Conquest. The American Order of the Coif was founded in 1912. Membership in it is the highest academic honor a law student can achieve. It is equivalent to membership in Phi Beta Kappa for undergraduates and recognizes the scholastic achievement of students selected from the upper ten percent of their class. The inductees are denoted by an asterisk in the list of graduates.

AWARDS GIVEN AT GRADUATION

The George Wythe and John Marshall Awards These awards have been made possible through the generosity of William & Mary

graduates Robert Friend Boyd and Sara Miller Boyd. The Wythe and Marshall Awards recognize exceptional character, leadership and selfless service to the Law School community. The Wythe Award goes to a member of the law school student body and the Marshall A ward to a member of the faculty or staff.
