Pleasant S. Brodnax III \u201883<\/b>, a distinguished trial attorney and legal strategist, brings his extensive federal and state litigation experience, corporate governance, and ethical compliance to the Board of Trustees of Hampton University. An accomplished advisor to clients confronting complex, high stakes matters, his leadership will play a pivotal role in solidifying the University\u2019s institutional mission.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

His service on two Virginia State Bar boards \u2013 proposing rules governing the attorney disciplinary process and conducting hearings involving serious allegations of attorney misconduct \u2013 underscores his commitment to the legal profession and ethical standards.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

A proud Hampton University alumnus (with High Honors), Brodnax obtained his law degree from the College of William & Mary.
