Greetings,
Thank
you to all of the alumni, students, friends, partners,
faculty, staff, and furry companions who joined us for
our Centennial Homecoming events. It was an outstanding
weekend to reconnect, honor the history and pride of
Arizona Law, and showcase where we are headed in the
years to come.
This
week we offer a few candid moments from all the
celebrations. The Centennial party will continue in the
months to come.
And
don't forget to join us this Friday as we take on ASU in
the annual Jenckes Competition
-- and go for an unprecedented fifth victory in a
row!
Until
the footnotes,

The Red & Blue BBQ
is our signature event that brings together alumni
to reconnect,
share stories, and see
how Arizona Law is evolving into its next
century. | |

Reunion. | |

You never forget the friends you made in law
school. | |

The Arizona Supreme
Court held oral arguments on two cases during our
Centennial Homecoming -- including a
case on the Medicaid expansion that
packed the
Ares Auditorium, and which Governor Brewer
attended. | |
 |
During their visit to
the college, Justice John Pelander ('76) and
Justice Ann Timmer (BA
'82) joined students from Cholla High School
at a lunch event organized by the
Latino Law Students
Association. | |
 |
Goldcorp CEO and
Arizona Law alum Chuck Jeannes ('83) offered the
annual
Lacy Lecture on Mining to a
packed room at the College of
Law. | |
 |
Washington, DC, came
to Tucson during our Conversation with Deborah
Sliz ('79).
Joining us for the conversation
and a picture is Suzanne Rabe ('79),
Sally Rider ('86),
and Kay Kavanagh
('81). | |
 |
| On their Golden
Anniversary, we were proud to welcome back the
Class of
1964. | |
 |
| The next generation of
Arizona Law graduates prepare to sample the
Centennial
cake. | |
 |
Filling the Snell
& Wilmer courtyard, the All-Alumni Reception
offered a relaxed and
spirited
opportunity to reunite with former classmates and
longtime
friends. | |
 |
My wife Chris and I
were pleased to welcome so many of you into
our home on Sunday for the All-Alumni
Brunch. | |
 |
| Of course, we cannot
forget one of the best parts of this year's
Homecoming! Bear Down
Arizona! | |

Remembering Cliff
Altfeld
We
send sincere condolences to the family and friends of
Clifford Altfeld ('78) who passed away on November 9th.
Cliff was a determined advocate, a man of wit and
wisdom, and most of all, an enduring member of the
Tucson community. From teaching classes at the College
of Law to serving on the Catalina Foothills School
District Governing Board, his impact resonates
throughout the profession and the local community. He
will be missed.

The Mind &
the Law Lecture Series: Our Perfect Supreme
Court? "From the crooked timber of humanity no
straight thing was ever made."
Wednesday,
November 19, 2014
7
pm
Ares Auditorium (Room 164)
Charles
Fried of Harvard Law School -- formerly a member
of the Supreme Judicial Court of
Massachusetts and Solicitor General of the
United States -- discusses what is judicial
wisdom, and how do judges really decide cases?
Judges have long sought, and sometimes vainly
pretended to have, a foolproof method
for adjudicating constitutional cases.
Ultimately these theories of perfection --
including versions of original intent,
original meaning, and several types of
textualism -- all fall short. Nonetheless it
is possible to describe examples of wise, if
not flawless and uncontroversial, judging. We can
draw instruction if
not prescription from them.
No RSVP
required.
Future dates in the
series: December 3.
