Virginia Lawyer and Adjunct GW Law Professor Shot in Office

1934809_1Todd F. Sanders, 45, a Virginia lawyer and George Washington adjunct law professor was shot last night through his office window in Loudoun’s historic district. He was released after treatment for a non-life threatening wound.

I have never met Mr. Sanders but we are obviously thankful that he was not more seriously injured. He is listed as a Professorial Lecturer in Law at the school.

Unfortunately, lawyers are often targets for such attacks. Given the rarity of gunshots in this area, one has to suspect a connection to one of Sanders’ cases. He handles criminal cases in Virginia and is a former prosecutor.

The entire George Washington law school has extended our best wishes to him and his family for a speedy recovery.

    I think I remember Todd from a moot court or trial advocacy competition I judged at T.C. Williams School of Law some years ago. I recall him being bright, articulate, and a credit to the School. I am disturbed to hear about this incident, and hope it was more random than intended.

    What the hell is going on? When I was a student guys just took a dump on the professors desk if they did not like him. (no I never did that I took my C or B like a man)

    “Took a dump on the professors desk”? (Yikes!)

    This is a very scary situation. I hope the authorities are able to find the culprit(s) quickly and that the professor recovers completely.

    MERCIE,

    For some people, that material is the only one they are capable of producing that has any substance.
