I was impressed with my professors in the 1980s (concepts I learned then have stayed with me throughout my career, whether as a finance lawyer on Wall Street or as general counsel), and the rich tradition of teaching excellence has grown. A special thank you to Professor Larry Yackle. I took any course I could with him as he combined a genuine passion to teach with an endearing humility. It was also wonderful to see the son of one of my closest friends (also LAW\u201985) graduate from BU Law (in facilities that I am jealous of!) and thrive in our profession.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2014 Jeff Hurwitz (\u201985)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"705\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng.jpeg\" alt=\"APALSA 2017\u201318 e-board meetup: Henry Zeng, Diana Tao, Cynthia Liang, Julia Li, Alda Chan, and Helen Huang.\" class=\"wp-image-100746\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng-636x415.jpeg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng-1024x668.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng-768x501.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng-992x648.jpeg 992w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng-500x326.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2023\/05\/Zeng-1000x653.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"headline-4\" class=\"wp-block-editorial-headline record-block-editorial-headline\">APALSA 2017\u201318 e-board meetup: Henry Zeng, Diana Tao, Cynthia Liang, Julia Li, Alda Chan, and Helen Huang.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2014 Henry Zeng (JD\u201919, LLM\u201919)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-editorial-parallax record-block-editorial-parallax alignfull has-object-cover-center-middle is-style-overlay\"><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-parallax-media\"><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-parallax-background-image\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-parallax-content-outer\"><div class=\"wp-block-editorial-parallax-content-inner\">\n<h2 id=\"headline-4\" class=\"wp-block-editorial-headline record-block-editorial-headline is-style-emphasis-color\"><strong>I remember Professor Henry Monaghan\u2019s angst after he won the US Supreme Court decision in Southeast <em>Promotions v.

I\u2019m so grateful for the law school\u2019s part in my journey toward achieving that goal. My path to law school wasn\u2019t easy. I was a high school dropout from Gardner, Mass., the Chair City, where most people (myself included) expected I would work in a factory someday like my father, who dropped out of high school before me. But I started undergrad after three combat tours as an army medic, and in 2015, I was admitted to BU Law as a Public Interest Scholar. It didn\u2019t take me long to make my way to the lone east-facing seventh-floor classroom where I could watch the sunrise over Boston all by myself, because the rowers on the Charles River and I were the only people foolish enough to brave those cold Boston mornings. I felt so privileged to be there, watching the sunrise over the river\u2019s basin gleaming off the State House\u2019s gold dome, and bathing Beacon Hill in the light of a new day. In combat, sunrise was special\u2014sacred even. I think that perspective let me truly appreciate each and every morning that I got to study the Constitution and its rights and protections, for which I\u2019d once put my life on the line (long before I understood them). Although I love the work I do now, I sure do miss those quiet mornings reading my casebooks, pacing my reading with the Ivy League rowers, sipping a Pavement coffee and eating a bagel. I hope a new student has found that bank of windows. I hate to think of that view going unused. Go Terriers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2014 Kenneth L.

It seems President Nixon\u2019s excursion into Cambodia during the unpopular war in Vietnam enraged the entire BU student body on campus. In a meeting at the law school, the law students were informed that the school was the only part of BU that was still operating, and that we needed to shut down in solidarity (the medical school was not involved). There was sentiment to do it, but a George Will (Hon.\u201903) lookalike stood up and promised that he intended to sue a long list of BU administrators if they did. Wow! The legal process working in real time! The law school remained open and, although I had two exams interrupted by bomb threats, most of the class opted to take their exams as scheduled and not postpone them until fall, which was an option. It was quite a memorable end to my first year at BU, but I guess all is well that ends well!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014 <em>William A.
