Ukraine: Accountability and The Emergence of a New Global Order

The Russian invasion of Ukraine constitutes a clear violation of international law; by ordering the commission of various atrocity crimes, such as aggression, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and possibly genocide, Russian President Vladimir Putin has incurred individual criminal responsibility.  In fact, since Nuremberg, political and military leaders have been held accountable for ordering and orchestrating the commission of atrocity crimes.  In the context of Ukraine, Putin and other Russian leaders are already being investigated by the International Criminal Court, which has jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes in Ukraine; it is likely that the ICC will indict some Russian leaders in the very near future.  As the ICC does not have jurisdiction over

Monday Morning Message 1.30.23 I'm Just Trying to Go Home

“I’m just trying to go home….Mom, Mom, Mom!” –Tyre Nicols 

The video of Tyre Nichols' brutal killing at the hands of five Memphis police is horrifying. It was shocking to witness these officers, who are sworn to uphold the law, carry out such a flagrantly unjustified attack on Tyre Nicols after a traffic stop. The 29-year-old was attacked for three minutes while officers shouted profanities at him. As he was being beaten just 80 yards from his family home, he repeatedly called out for his mother.

Monday Morning Message 1.23.23 We Are For Each Other

“They are one person. They are two alone. They are three together. They are for each other.”  - "Helplessly Hoping", Crosby, Stills, and Nash 

Crosby, Stills, and Nash has been one of the soundtracks of my life. So when the legendary singer songwriter David Crosby passed away this past week, I listened again to many of their songs and was reminded how much their music and lyrics have resonated with me over the decades. 

If I could give only one reason why prospective and admitted students should choose our law school over many other fine law schools, it would be this:

In the words of David Crosby, we “are for each other.”

Monday Morning Message 1.9.23 Reflect, Re-Evaluate, Reset, Reboot

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” – Maya Angelou

As we begin the Spring semester and a new year, I want to welcome back all of you, but my message this morning is directed particularly to those students whose first semester grades were disappointing.

Grades are pieces of information, not a judgement of who you are as a person. You get to decide how to use that information.

Your grades don’t define you. You define you.

This is a moment to reflect, re-evaluate, reset, and reboot. If you did well, don’t be overconfident and don’t be satisfied. If you did not do as well as you had hoped, you should be disappointed - but you should not be discouraged.

Monday Morning Message 12.12.22 Thank You For Being My Lifeline

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

Not a week goes by when I don’t receive a positive message about our law school. As the fall semester comes to an end, I’m pleased to share some of those emails I’ve received this year. I will share many more in future messages.
