Description
Summary by Jane Thompson: This is the text of David Getches' remarks at the dedication of the new Wolf Law Building on September 8, 2006, when American Bar Association (ABA) President Karen Mathis, University of Colorado President Hank Brown, and United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer were honored guests and speakers. He talks about the "damn hard work" it took to get to this day: faith, commitment, perseverance, risk-taking, generosity, and civic engagement. There are many historical facts recounted and names dropped in this speech, and he also announces the launch of the DeMuth Chair. Part of the text of his remarks was reproduced in the program that was distributed at the event, and the portion as it appears in the printed program is titled: The journey of the CU Law School: a study in civic engagement.
