Commencement 2005

U.S. SENATOR EVAN BAYH ’81 called for more unity among Americans and summoned the Class of 2005 and their families and friends to a “deeper, more profound level of patriotism” during the May 22 graduation ceremony. “It was true in 1968, it’s true in 2005,” Bayh said. “The time has come for us to think about what each and every one of us can do to strengthen this nation.” Following Bayh’s remarks, the Law School conferred 353 Juris Doctor degrees, 32 Masters of Laws degrees, two Master of Laws in the Judicial Process degrees (to judges completing the Judges Program), and two S.J.D (Doctor of Juridical Science) degrees. Dean John C. Jeffries, Jr. ’73 praised the Class as the best the school has yet offered. “You have also been remarkably substantive,” he told the class. “Your energy and commitment have made the Law School a rich and diverse learning environment, both in and out of the classroom. Your concern for one another, and your inextinguishable good humor have made the Law School fun.” Senator Bayh’s address
