One for the folks in Birmingham...

Here's one way to start law school. Paraphrasing one of the speeches this morning:

"Members of your class have worked for NASA, DOJ, and other government agencies. You have been in the Peace Corps and Teach for America. Some of you are in the armed forces. We have teachers, a bartender, a minister--not the same person--and a tenured professor in philosophy..."

And then, after a bit...

"Members of the class have worked for National Geographic, Jane, and...since this is Virginia...Southern Living."

Cue laughter.

Hey, it's a talking point.
