Remarks on the 20th Anniversary of the Founding of the District of Columbia Access to Justice Commission

I'm very excited to be here and honored that you invited me to be one of the speakers for this very timely and amazing symposium. I'm especially excited because you're also recognizing the 20th anniversary of the District of Columbia's Access to Justice Commission. The topic of the symposium is the evolution of the legal profession, A Different World. Looking at the phoenix on the UDC Law school logo, the flames are really appropriate now when we talk about the evolution of the legal world with all the technological developments and other interesting issues that we confront. First, I want to start by saying how good it feels to be back here at the UDC David A. Clarke School of Law. As some of you know, I had the privilege of teaching here for a number of years during the summers. My husband and I both taught professional responsibility. The students here are dynamic and your faculty and Dean are amazing. I also see one of your many illustrious professors here in the front, Professor John Brittain.
