Summary by Jane Thompson: This was the 30th Alumni Awards Banquet (2011), and the final banquet of David's eight-year deanship. Judge Carrigan received a special recognition award as a non-alumnus, Richard Schaden was in the audience. The accomplishments of the law school that David mentions include the new LLM program, Leg/Reg course, Schaden Experiential Education Program, successful year of trial and appellate competitions, pro bono pledge program, new Alumni Scholarship, Centers activities, faculty and staff hiring. He also talks about Prof. Pizzi's retirement. On a more somber note, he mentions the deaths of CU law legends, Court Peterson and Clyde Martz, and the difficult times: "harrowing" employment situation for grads, high tuition costs, etc.
