She acknowledged that the world in which these graduates worked to finish law school was completely different from that which she graduated in 1991, adding that her class was on the cusp of the technological revelation.
"Computers were not stables in classrooms," she said. "Cell phones were few and far between. Technology was about to explode."
She told the more than 20 of 36 graduates present that in 18 to 20 years, they too would be able to look back on this time as a significant period of history.
"You graduate at a time of dynamic change," she reiterated, pointing out the coming inauguration of the first African-American president in U.S. history, Democrat Barack Obama. His inauguration, falling on the day after Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, cashes a check written by King more than 35 years ago, she said, that truly entitles all to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Future December graduates will have the opportunity to walk with the rest of their class during spring graduation festivities.
