    Margaret (Mimi) Foster Riley, co-director of the Legal Research and Writing Program, became a member of the faculty in 1992. In addition to teaching legal research and writing to first-year law students, she also teaches bioethics, health law, and pre-trial litigation. Riley serves as the legal advisor to the Human Investigation Committee, which is responsible for reviewing all human subject research at U.Va. involving medically invasive procedures.

    Before coming to Virginia, Riley was an associate with Pepper Hamilton & Scheetz in Philadelphia for four years, where she worked primarily in complex securities, commercial, and mass tort litigation. Prior to that position, she was a litigation associate with Rogers & Wells in New York for three years. Riley graduated cum laude in history and political science from Duke University in 1981 and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1985 she received her law degree from Columbia University, where she was editor of the Journal of Transnational Law and a semi-finalist in the Moot Court competition.
