I was so proud to see a number of my former students get sworn in as new members of the California Bar in the Mission Church on the Santa Clara University campus.  Today’s joining the bar as full-fledged attorneys is the last stage of the transformation they started more than three years ago, when I first met them in my all 2016 1L torts course.  Even though I have been teaching law for more than two decades now and seen many classes of students successfully make this journey, both here at Santa Clara and at Vermont Law School, I am still amazed at the personal and professional growth that students undergo.  Congratulations to all!
