For me, one critica l period was my se rvice in the Depa rtment of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel in the 1980's, when the role of government was being defined and the limits of legal doctrine being tested. T hose four years provided me with a political educati on that I found life-defining. It deepened my inrerests in pres identi al povver, se parati on of powers and administrati on, all of which have borne fruit later in my own teaching and scholarship- and, ultimately, in my interest in servin g as Dean of this great Law Sc hool. We are perhaps reli ving a similar moment in American history, which is formative for the whole country as well as in the careers o f many young Penn students and alumni. One Penn Law MICHAEL A. F'TTS Dean c nd Berrard G. Segul student who worked this year in our wonderful Legislative Clinic, for example, ve tted Supreme Professor of Law Court nominees thro ugh the Senate Judicia ry Committee. Another student was assigned the health ca re reconciliation bill as an intern with the Senate Finance Committee. In the latter case, the student scrubbed the legislation and fl agged the areas with budget implications- a ll before participati ng in an exclu sive meeting with the Senate parliamentaria n. These are encounters they will never forget. M any of our alumni a re having si milar experiences in the young Obama administrati on. They are the subject of th e current issue, which focuses on four young alumni who have heeded the call to se rvice: Olivier Kamanda L'09, Kirsten White L'0 7, N icole Isaac L' 04, a nd Dan Restrepo L' 99. They have been joined in the administration by professor Bill Burke-White, who is on leave from the faculty. All of them pulse with the same exci tement and sense of purpose I felt, as they conduct the na­ tion's business and help make tomorrow's headlines. For them, I am sure it is hard to beli eve how close they are to th e center of gravity. Every time they walk into the W hite House, the Situation Room, the Capitol or the State Department, or step up to the Press Room podium, as one of the featured alumni did, the enormity of their jobs hits home. They are part of history - their baptism by fire will have an enormous impact on th eir lives. Such opportunities do not come along ve ry often. But when they do, it is wise to seize them. Already, one of the students in the clinic is plotting a potential path to the White House. She's going to work for a prominent D. C. firm after graduation. Her goa l is to parlay that work into a job in a future presid ential administration. If so, we'll feature her in the Penn Law .Journal.

    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2019 Remarks at the National Governors Association Dinner February 24, 2019 Thank you very much, everybody. This is an honor. Fifty-nine Governors. Think of that. But we actually have—we added a few from the islands, so we broke it down to 49. But we love to exaggerate just a little bit. [Laughter] This has been a—really, a great couple of days. We've had a lot of fun together. And it's been, you know, very special. We've gotten to know each other. We've gotten to like each other, in almost all cases. Let's see, one or two cases. Every case, I would say. [Laughter] Every single case. I just want to thank Vice President Mike Pence and our Second Lady, Karen. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mike, very much. And I especially want to thank our really great Cabinet for being here. We have most members of the Cabinet and our great new Attorney General. And, Bill Barr and Mrs. Barr, thank you very much. Thank you. I can say this: Our country is doing very, very well. We are doing record business. We're doing record employment. Right now we have the most people working in our country than ever in the history of our country, close to 160 million people. And that's a big thing. And I'll give you a little advance information. I see Steve Mnuchin is here, and Ambassador Lighthizer. We just left a big meeting with China, and we just put out a statement, and we're doing very well with China.

Herman: Strategies for Implementing Criminal Justice Reform ISSUE 23:1 SPRING 2018 Getting There: On Strategies for Implementing Criminal Justice Reform Susan N. Herman* Criminal justice reform efforts sometimes seem improvisational. Scholars and activists have built a persuasive case that we need to reform the criminal justice system to reduce our reflexive dependency on mass incarceration and to root out bias against the poor, the mentally ill, and racial minorities. We know that actions like revising sentencing laws and eliminating cash bail are steps in the right direction. And so advocates around the country have been using any tools in grabbing distance to achieve those results: legislation, ballot initiatives, administrative or judicial regulations, or direct political action. Strategic discussion of how to prioritize and harmonize those approaches, or how best to build momentum among the states, however, is frequently held behind closed doors when it is held at all.
