Clive Livingston DuVal II (June 20, 1912 – February 25, 2002) was an American politician and Virginia lawyer who served five terms in the Senate of Virginia (1972 to 1992) after three terms in the Virginia House of Delegates.
Duval was born in New York City on June 20, 1912, the son of a Wall Street broker. He attended Groton School and Yale University, Phi Beta Kappa Summa Cum Laude in 1935. He then attended Yale Law School, edited the Yale Law Journal, and received his law degree in 1938.
In 1940, Du Val married artist Susan Holdredge Bontecou (1919-1997), with whom he had a daughter Susan and three sons Clive III, Daniel and David.
During World War II, DuVal served in the U.S. Navy (1942-1946), including in the Pacific Theater aboard the USS Lexington, an aircraft carrier. He rose in rank from Lieutenant Junior Grade to Lieutenant Commander, and also earned five battle stars, a Commendation Medal and Presidential Unit Citation. In 1978 the Disabled American Veterans awarded him its National Commander's award for his subsequent legislative service.
After five more years in private legal practice, DuVal entered his public service during the Republican administration of President Dwight Eisenhower, serving in the U.S. Department of Defense in positions including: Special Assistant to the Undersecretary of the Army (1951-1952), Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of the Defense (1953), and Assistant General Counsel (international Affairs) (1953-1955). He then became General Counsel for the U.S. Information Agency (1955-1959). In 1959, Du Val served as Associate General Counsel for the President's Committee to Study the United States Military Assistance Program.
