Commencement 2012: 'Save the Dream for
All'

( http://www.law.yale.edu/15504.htm?utm_source=YLS&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=12-2%0D%0A )Yale
Law School honored 251 degree candidates at the School's
commencement ceremony on May 21. Held this year in the
rainproof
Lanman Center at Payne Whitney Gymnasium, the program
opened
with welcoming remarks by Dean Robert Post '77,
who offered special congratulations to the first class to
enter Yale Law School under his deanship. Stephen
Bright, Harvey Karp Visiting Lecturer in Law, delivered
a powerful commencement address, urging graduates to use
their gifts to make the legal world a better world — one
where no one is shut out and the weak and vulnerable are
not exploited. The students also heard from Margaret
H. Marshall '76, former Chief Justice of the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court, who had received an honorary Doctor
of Laws degree from Yale University earlier in the day.
A video and photo gallery of Commencement are available
online.
