    Barry Cushman returned to Virginia in 1998 from the faculty of the St. Louis University School of Law, where he received the Thompson Coburn Faculty Scholarship Award and was twice voted Student Bar Association Teacher of the Year. Before entering law teaching he clerked for Judge Richard F. Neely of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals and practiced law with Riordan & McKinzie in Los Angeles. In 1990-91 he was the Samuel I. Golieb Fellow in Legal History at New York University School of Law. His book, Rethinking the New Deal Court: The Structure of a Constitutional Revolution (Oxford University Press), was awarded the American Historical Association's 1998 Littleton-Griswold Prize in American Law and Society. In 2003 he was honored with the University of Virginia’s All-University Teaching Award.

    From 2001 to 2006, Cushman directed both the Law School's Program on Legal and Constitutional History and the University's combined-degree program in legal history. He has served on the Board of Directors of the University of Virginia Press, and on the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee of the American Society for Legal History. He teaches courses in American legal history and trusts and estates.
