ALI Member and Harvard Law School Professor Jeanne Suk took part in Harvard Law School’s “Last Lecture Series.” The series, which is organized by the Class Marshals, asks Harvard Law School professors to give lectures addressing the graduating class. This year’s series also featured ALI Council member Robert H. Sitkoff.
Professor Suk reflected on her own life and the path that brought her to legal education. She encouraged students to challenge the law and change the world.
“A school is the foundation for society, its practices and its norms, and its aspirations,” Suk said. “In the classroom, I have tried to teach you the awesome responsibility and power you will have as some of the most influential legal actors in the world. You are people who will change our world, who will evolve the way we think and change this world’s future.”
