This class promises to be outstanding. The 1 Ls come to us from ] 01 undergraduate institutions, 26 states, and 8 foreign countries. In addition to possessing impressive entering statisti cs, many are bilingual or multilingual; have advanced degrees; have served the underprivileged in programs such as VISTA, the Peace Corps, and Habitat for Humanity; have traveled the world; have climbed mountains; and are former champion athletes. They have served their country as public servants, veterans, law enforcement personnel, and engineers, as well as nationall y recognized artists, writers, poets, and musicians. We have students with extensive business experience, having worked in large firms as well as start-ups. As I looked at the class assembled in the beautiful Green Room above the Herbst Theater, I saw reflected on their faces the same mixture of excitement and anxiety I remember from my own matricu­ lation at Hastings in ] 973. Could we have beli eved at that moment that so many of our classmates would become judges, attorneys, business men and women, law professors, and public servants? The class of 2009 will surely make as much-if not a greater-mark upon the world than the classes that have come before. While anxiety may be the hallmark of the beginning student, optimism is the emotion felt by faculty and staff Fall brings new beginnings-a new group of wonderful students for staff to shepherd through the challenges of law school and fa culty to introduce the vaulting abstractions, policy underpinnings, practical impact, interpretive challenges, and niceties of the law. Fall also brings new courses, new scholarl y projects, new faculty coll eagues, and new programs. This year, of course, fall also brings a new dean, and I am honored to have been asked to lead my alm a mater. Hastings has changed a good deal since my student days, and dail y I marvel and deli ght at the new programs and new strengths we have developed in the last 30 years. During the next year, I will devote my time to learning about our school from staff, students, faculty, alumni, and friends of the Law School. I will ask everyone: What are your goals for the schooP What have we done that works really well; what should we try that we haven't) What can we achieve if we all work together) Pl ease add yo ur voice in person, by email, or by note.

I’d also like to thank Assistant Chief Bryant, Interim Executive Director Akers, and NOBLE’s entire executive board and staff for their commitment to advancing this organization’s important mission. It is a pleasure to join you all in Pittsburgh today. I am honored to be among so many distinguished members of the law enforcement community and extend my congratulations and gratitude to today’s award recipients for their exemplary service. I also bring greetings and congratulatory wishes from Attorney General Eric Holder, who values NOBLE’s steadfast partnership with the Department of Justice and appreciates the sacrifices you each make every day to ensure public safety and improve the communities you serve. This week, you have all gathered under the theme of “Bridging the Pathway to Justice and Equality. As a prosecutor, I have had the privilege of working with law enforcement professionals like you who understand that the bridge to justice and equality is not simply built on arrests, drug busts, and takedowns. Indictments, convictions, and prison sentences are an indispensable part of what we do, but it is not the sum total of our purpose.

  • June 2015 Honoring M
    The Schwarz Report Dr. Fred Schwarz Volume 55, Number 6 Dr. David Noebel June 2015 Honoring M. Stanton Evans by Cliff Kincaid Those who assembled on March 12 at St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Leesburg, Virginia, to celebrate the life of conservative thinker and writer M. Stanton Evans heard several references to his monumental 1994 work, The Theme is Freedom. This book is worth remembering and re-reading as we are being treated repeatedly to the spectacle in the media of “conservatives” endorsing gay rights and gay marriage. In an illustration of what Stan called the “pagan ethic,” he cites on page 128 “the campaign to change societal views of homosexuality—to treat it as an ‘alternative lifestyle,’ as valid in its way as heterosexual conduct.” Stan comments, “Among other things, this is a reversion to pagan ways of thinking.” He cites acceptance of homosexuality in ancient civilizations such as Babylon and notes, “All of this was unequivocally condemned by the religion of the Bible.” Yet, as Austin Ruse points out in his Breitbart article, “GOP Elite Ask Supreme Court to Impose Gay Marriage on America,” a brief to celebrate homosexual “marriage” as equal to traditional marriage has been submitted to the court and signed by 300 conservatives and/or Republicans, including no less than 26 former senior Mitt Romney staffers. These so-called “conservatives,” who are not conservative in any real sense, are part of a “Project Right Side” that is designed to confuse the public about the meaning of the term. The “media” section of the website tells us how news organizations have covered the “conservative case for gay marriage.” But there is nothing “conservative” about asking the Supreme Court to impose homosexual marriage on all 50 states.
