February 18, 2021 The HonorableRichardJ. Durbin Chairman,Committeeon the Judiciary UnitedStatesSenate 224 DirksenSenateOffice Building Washington,D.C.20510 The Honorable Charles E. Grassley Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate 224 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Chairman Durbin & Ranking Member Grassley: We, the undersigned, are more than 150 former United States Attorneys and other senior Department of Justice officials. Collectively, we have served in 46 states and the District of Columbia under both Democratic and Republican Administrations. We write in support of President Biden’s nomination of Judge Merrick B. Garland to serve as Attorney General of the United States and to express our strong belief that Judge Garland is not only supremely qualified for the position, but is also well-equipped to address the many challenges before us. Judge Garland has dedicated much of his life to the American justice system. Following his Second Circuit and Supreme Court clerkships, he began his career at the Department of Justice before moving to private practice, where he represented clients in commercial cases with a focus on administrative and antitrust law. Judge Garland later served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia, where he prosecuted narcotics activity and white-collar crime, as Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, and as Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. In this last role, he worked on many of the Department of Justice’s most crucial investigations, including the Oklahoma City bombing and the UNABOMBER case. He became deeply respected by his colleagues for his commitment to evenhanded application of the law without regard for political pressures or media scrutiny. -
Class of 2021
THE UNIVERSITY of MISSISSIPPI One Hundred Sixty-Eighth COMMENCEMENT Saturday, the First of May 2021 THE UNIVERSITY of MISSISSIPPI TM One Hundred Sixty-Eighth COMMENCEMENT Saturday, the First of May 2021 Office of the Chancellor On behalf of the faculty and staff of the University of Mississippi, we extend a sincere welcome to the students, parents, families and friends gathered to celebrate the university’s 168th Commencement. We are pleased to recognize the spirit of our community and honor the academic accomplishments and dedication of our beloved candidates for graduation of the Class of 2021. Commencement is a time-honored tradition that recognizes the outstanding work and achievements of students and faculty. It is an exciting time for us, and we know this is a special occasion for all of you. Our students are the heart and soul of Ole Miss, and we take pride and inspiration in their accomplishments and growth. Today’s ceremony celebrates years of study, hard work and careful preparation, and we’re grateful that you have come to show your support, love and belief in these graduates. The members of the Class of 2021 accomplished so much during their time as Ole Miss students — they pursued their passions, maximized their potential and pushed their boundaries through outstanding learning opportunities and life-changing experiences. In addition, they endured the disruption caused by the pandemic, which has taught us all important life lessons about resilience and the need to be adaptable. Now, we can’t wait to see how they’ll build and grow personal legacies of achievement, service and leadership. -
