The University of Virginia School of Law is offering a new course this fall entitled “The Mueller Report and the Role of the Special Counsel.” It will be taught by NAFUSA member Bob Mueller and three members of his team. Mueller led the nearly two-year-long inquiry into President Donald Trump’s dealings with Russia and its potential interference in the 2016 election. Over six in-person sessions, they will take a chronological look at the investigation and the function of a special counsel. The course will focus on the key decisions made during the course of the investigation and the challenges and tradeoffs presented by those decisions.

Mueller was a United States Marine Corps officer, an Assistant United States Attorney in three different offices, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of California, the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division, and the longest-serving Director of the FBI since J. Edgar Hoover. He earned his law degree in 1973 from the University of Virginia School of Law, where he served on the Law Review. He is currently a partner at WilmerHale in Washington.
