As important as an election always is, and as exciting as it is to watch Sean and Stan go on and on and on, I think there is time to recognize a big moment: Today Dan graduates from law school. Eat it all you corporate law firms, this one is ours! After all, this city can never have enough kick-ass, loud mouthed, socially-justice oriented lawyers.
So Congrats Dan!
Is he loud mouthed?
I always thought of him as so soft-spoken . . .
YEA Dan!
Way to go Dan!
Way to go Dan!
Congrats Dan!
Good news for the under-represented and under-privileged in this city!
A Very Special Kind of Fraternity for Dan's Entry
The legal profession is a very special kind of fraternity, and your entry into it after you pass the Bar exam will be a great moment in your life, and, potentially, a great moment in the lives of people you help.
The legal profession falls short time and again its publicly proclaimed quest for justice for all. But it is just about the only profession that has such a goal. It is one of the rare occupations where success is not merely measured in income earned.
At your best, you can make a major contribution towards representing the unrepresented, bringing issues to the bar of justice that might otherwise not get there. Everytime I take a continuing education legal education course at Penn, I am reminded that Penn is a great law school. You can be one of the Penn alumni who makes both the public and the legal profession proud.
Here is my suggestion:
Here is my suggestion: Forget all this social justice crap and get yourself a gig at some corporate law firm. In a few years, you'll be able to hire a team of trained monkeys to blog on YPP AND buy yourself a nice house in the 'burbs.
I kid, I kid. Congrats man!

America still needs more lawyers ...
... as long as they're as socially conscious and committed to excellence as Dan is. Mazel tov!
Nice picture Ray!
While that picture seems to signal that maybe Alex got all the good genetic material at least you parlayed the leftovers into a law degree.
Congratulations!
