“On reflection, I’m surprised to admit that what I remember most about law school is the students I studied with, struggled with, laughed with, and learned with.  There are many classroom moments, of course, and hallway discussions with professors, but it is my fellow students who made the biggest mark on me.  They were from everywhere and were of all shapes, sizes, colors, and backgrounds.  I remember the hours we spent studying torts, the rule against perpetuities, the law of offer and acceptance and contracts; the late nights editing law journal articles; and so forth.  We studied hard, but we helped each other learn.  For the last several decades I have employed the same approach to working with colleagues.  I work best in a group, when I can collaborate, share ideas, debate issues, and eventually come up with the right approach to a client problem.  I am convinced that I would not have approached the law that way during my career if I had not been exposed to that collaborative, explorative method while in law school.

The S.J. Quinney College of Law is the author of my life’s work.  I’ve had an amazing series of experiences, acquaintances, privileges, and resulting opportunities to make a positive impact in the lives of many people.  I would not have any of that without the College of Law.”
