At the University of Richmond, the Modlin Center is a creative arts center that hosts concerts, programming and exhibits to celebrate and recognize a wide range of expressive works and creators. Each year, they solicit proposals for exhibits to highlight student-created projects. For 2025, they are hosting a collection of comics from University of Richmond law students. Contributions come from a Comics + the Law course, where students explore creativity, copyright and ownership, each creating a comic in the area of Access to Justice.
Here’s a gallery of selections from the comics, followed by direct links to all student works. This is a great example of how law students can think creatively about how their legal skills and communication goals can enhance ways that we all view, experience and understand the law.
Here’s the full list of all law student comics viewable in the Modlin Center from May 2025 until early April 2026:
- Artificial Intelligence: Accessibility for Artists, Madison Edenfield (L ’24)
- Accessing Justice with Professor S., Katie Hall (L ’25)
- History of the U.S. Jury, Joe Probus (L ’25)
