Graduation 2017
Speeches
"I want you to remember your feelings of accomplishment and of pride—not just for completing your studies here, although that certainly is grounds enough for pride, but for the help you gave others, for the advocacy in which you engaged, for the friendships you formed, for the community that, together, you constructed and maintained."
-David Alan Sklansky, Stanley Morrison Professor of Law and Faculty Co-Director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center
"I think right now, we’re all thinking about the vignettes of joy and pain and growth and failure that, taken together, define our Stanford Law School experience. These are the things that we reveled in and powered through to be here today, receiving our J.D. from the best law school in the world."
-José Luis Martinez, JD ‘17
"They say that inspiration comes from being surrounded by people who are smarter than you. Well, for the past ten months, I have felt that way, and it has been a constant source of inspiration."
-Bianca Crivellini Eger, LLM ‘17
