Dean's Corner
|
We are in the midst of celebrating our centennial, 100 years of training the finest in skilled, ethical lawyers concerned for others. As part of our centennial events, we recently welcomed three of our esteemed alumni judges—
California Supreme Court Associate Justice Ming Chin ’67, California Court of Appeal Justice James A. Richman ’65, and Federal District Judge Saundra Brown Armstrong ’77—to judge our annual Advocate of the Year Competition, the cornerstone of our skills training and emblematic of the quality of education that we provide our students. It is only fitting that such a distinguished panel presided as we celebrate our 100th birthday. As proud as we are of our alumni who grace the bench, we are equally proud of our students who are an inspiration to all of us: smart and working hard to join the generations of great USF lawyers and judges that precede them. They are what’s really at the heart of our centennial celebration.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Brand
