“As I returned to Washington DC and drove past the wonderful monuments to outstanding Americans, I thought about the amazing monumental recipients of the Cleveland-Marshall Hall of Fame that I am honored to be among. The history of our law school’s graduates is truly inspiring.” - Elizabeth Pugh ’78, General Counsel, Library of Congress, 2017 Hall of Fame Inductee
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court starts its new term - the first Monday in October- an historical tradition that goes back to 1917. The backdrop is the dramatic politics of the moment.
Every day, we balance the pull of the past, the grip of the present, and the power of the future. Our success as a law school will be determined by our ability to balance our focus between the past, present and future.
We honor our historic past; we teach law and live justice in the moment; and we plan our innovative future.
That is why our Cleveland-Marshall College of Law (C|M|LAW) Hall of Fame is so important to who we are.
Please join us on the last Friday in October, October 26, 5:30-8pm for our 2nd Annual C|M|LAW Hall of Fame Celebration honoring our 2018 C|M|LAW Hall of Fame Honorees.
Among those we will honor are Professor Lizabeth Moody, long-time Cleveland-Marshall professor who was one of only seven women in her class at Yale Law School, and co-founder of the Women’s Law Fund, the first law firm in America to specialize in sex discrimination cases; Professor Susan Becker ’83, long-time Cleveland-Marshall professor who maintained a pro bono practice as legal counsel to individuals who encountered discrimination, was an expert witness in the groundbreaking Obergefell marriage equality litigation, and now serves in a volunteer capacity as General Counsel to the Ohio ACLU; and Carol Emerling ’55, the first woman editor of our Law Review, the first woman to head a public defender’s office, the first woman to head a Federal Trade Commission regional office, and the first woman to serve as Secretary of the Corporation for American Home Products which became Phizer Pharmaceuticals.
The annual Hall of Fame Celebration is also our single best opportunity this year to raise funds for student scholarships. If you are thinking about supporting us, but usually wait until the end of the year, I am respectfully asking you to give now instead, and to join us for this fantastic event if you can.
Please make a contribution or pledge this week to our October Hall of Fame celebration of an amount ranging from $120 to $12,000. Below are the different levels of support for our Hall of Fame Celebration. Please visit csulaw.org/hof_registration to purchase tickets or sponsorships.
