Law Journey Begins for Class of 2020
The diverse Class of 2020 officially began its journey in legal studies with the start of first-year classes Aug. 23.
“We chose each and every one of you to be here for your whole selves, who you are, and all the different ways that you exist in the world — all the different places you come from, all of your different hopes and dreams,” said Dean Risa Goluboff during orientation in a speech that emphasized diversity and acceptance.
