WILLIAM & MARY SCHOOL OF LAW VOLUME III, ISSUE TWELVE

C o n g r a t u l a t i o n s C l a s s o f 2 0 0 6 !

Continued on pg 14

Dear Class of 2006,

To my real surprise, it has

been almost three years since we

encountered each other in the front

hall of the Law School on August

17, 2003 I was standing near the

front doors blocking your path till

you shook my hand and got a W&M

Law School bumper sticker

You have been the ﬁ rst class to

enjoy the North Wing throughout

your stay at Marshall-Wythe, and

the ﬁ rst class to have Justice Sandra

Day O’Connor as your Chancellor

You are the class that will have

her as your graduation speaker (a

real coup for ’06) And, of course,

your class was catalytic in getting

the school moving toward “high stall” restrooms, badly needed for decades and ﬁ nally built thanks to you You’ve stayed long enough to see our new law library rise from the earth, but you’ll get out of Dodge before we begin noisily gutting the old library to rebuild it as a seamless part of the new whole Your timing

is impeccable

Your class gift effort has been extraordinary It will help feed the Law School’s Loan Repayment Assistance Program, a vital new initiative William & Mary had

by far the largest number of law students (228) among the eight Virginia law schools who pledged hours as part of the Virginia Bar

Association’s Community Ser-vice/Pro Bono Service Program

Our bone marrow fundraising was successful this year at a record level On these fronts and many others, with your class leading the way, citizen lawyers are alive and well at Marshall-Wythe 226 years after Thomas Jefferson and George Wythe created a law school

to produce them

Virtually all our student or-ganizations (those that have been around for eons, those born in 2005/06, and those in between) have been in full cry during your third year, which means while you were at the forefront of most of them Our student government,

journals, moot court, trial team, to name just a few, have been made

a real difference for the better this academic year

This has been a year rich with events – symposia, conferences, visiting speakers, and other hap-penings We could spend most of our time savoring what’s served daily on these fronts Early last fall we had General Zinni here as the Carter Lowance Fellow, and as the year winds down we had the Chief Judge of the State of New York, Judith Kaye, here as our Mar-shall-Wythe Medallion recipient The U.S Court of Appeals for the

ORDER OF THE COIF

The Order of the Coif is a national scholastic honor soci-ety in law Its purpose is “to foster a spirit of careful study and to mark in a ﬁ tting manner those who have attained a high grade of scholarship” in the study of law The English Order of the Coif was the most ancient and one of the most honored institutions of the common law Its origins may antedate the Norman Conquest The American Order of the Coif was founded in 1912 Membership in it is the highest academic honor a law student may achieve It is equiva-lent to membership in Phi Beta Kappa for undergraduates, recognizing the scholastic achievement of students selected from the upper ten percent of their class

AWARDS GIVEN AT GRADUATION

of the Law School faculty has shown evidence of great professional promise through scholarship, character and leadership The award, supported by an endowment given

of Directors of the National Center for State Courts

The George Wythe and John Marshall

Th e Green Leafe Café Congratulates the Class of 2006!

Th ank you for Th ree Years of

Diligent Patronage.

Neill, Glen, Kevin, Nate and the res t of us all look forward to many years of continued good times with

the Law Students:

Our favorite clientele!

Dear Jennifer, Nicole, David, Nick, and Raj:

Thank you for all your hard work in bringing news and entertainment

to Marshall-Wythe every fortnight We will miss you tremendously, but we

will take solace in the fact that you’ll be bringing news and entertainment,

in one way or another, to the real world Lord knows it could use your wit

and vim.

Best wishes,

Kelly, Myriem, Tara, Will and the rest of The Advocate staff

Nicole - You were editor extraordinaire, master of the photo

montage, and sex educator to 600 law students Those will

be some tough heels for Will to ﬁ ll

David - Muckraking news at the law school was no easy

task, but you must have been undercover on Wednesday

nights Thanks for sacriﬁ cing so many Friday afternoons to

editing

Raj - Chaachaajee and so much more Your creativity and

free spirit will be sorely missed I hear the toaster in the

lounge is not giving anymore exclusive interviews.

Nick - ARRGH matey, what would a newspaper be without

a pirate at the helm of copy editing?

- Kelly Joanne Pereira

Dear Graduating Eds:

I can’t believe it was almost two years ago when I ﬁ rst met you all I was a wide-eyed 1L, and you were seasoned second-years You welcomed me aboard the good ship Advocate, quickly making me a member of the crew and putting me to work scrubbing the Features deck

I still remember writing my ﬁ rst article covering last year’s SBA softball tourna-ment I think I just went ahead and wrote it because I thought I should, since I was going to be there anyway and since I had some sports coverage experience Imagine

my surprise days later seeing Jennifer’s parallel story on the same event! It was then

I realized that our beloved little paper did not have any delusions of grandeur We were all law students putting a newspaper together on the side, and that was just ﬁ ne, thank you very much.

You all taught me to have fun with the newspaper—to take the job of bringing news and features to the law school seriously, but not too seriously

Nicole, your columns were an inspiration Fortunately, they did not literally inspire me to do anything Hearing about the Victoria’s Secret annual sale was quite enough for me But your stylish and humorous take on the age old topic always got people picking up the paper, and I always admired it You were also a selﬂ ess and effortless leader these past two years You leave a strong legacy, and I hope to do it justice Thanks.

Jennifer, your business savvy and BLAWGing ability are unmatched—only when

I attempted to write a BLAWG or two myself did I realize just how much of an art form it was Thank you for keeping the paper in the black—it helps us print in both black and white and in color!

David, your workmanlike approach to the news is inspiring Maybe that sounds strange, given your California ’tude, dude, but it’s true I was always impressed with your ability to cover, either by delegating to others or writing yourself, the important events on campus You never let us see you sweat Thanks for lending that to the paper Wherever the future takes you, keep it up.

Nick, your sharp eye and even sharper wit are tremendous assets Thank you for sharing them with us for a while I hope you’re able to share them with the wider world (and maybe even get paid for it).

Raj, your friendship and Features leadership have been important and enjoyable aspects of my law school experience From Sikhism to Queen to metaphysics to Koko the gorilla, you can always speak or write knowledgably and effectively about just about anything Your passion and humor are contagious Thank you for making the world a more honest and happy place.

As I prepare to take over the helm next year, I have begun to appreciate more fully all you have done for the paper over the past few years I thank you for giving me and the rest of the law school a publication better off than when you found it More than your talents and abilities, though, I will miss your company and friendship I wish you all the best in your future endeavors When you all become successful, as I’m sure you will be, please don’t be strangers.

For everything you’ve given to The Advocate, thank you.

Fondly, William Y Durbin

Nicole, Nick, Raj, David, and Jen:

You guys set the best kind of example for the rest of us Your heart,

your energy, and most of all your good humor through all things were

an inspiration - always The Advocate will miss you muchly, and so

will I.

Cheers,

Myr

PS - Nicole, you are, of course, exceedingly fabulous.
