COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER ADALBERTO JORDAN, A.B. ’84, J.D. ’87 Judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit

Judge Adalberto “Bert” Jordan, A.B. ’84, J.D. ’87, exemplifies the finest qualities of the United States judicial system. An enthusiastic believer in freedom and justice for all, he is known throughout legal circles for his evenhanded approach to his rulings on appellate matters at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Atlanta. At a time of increasing partisanship, Jordan stands firm in his commitment to the rule of law.

In 2012, Jordan became the first Cuban American to serve on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, winning confirmation by a 94-5 vote in the Senate. At that time, U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, asked Jordan about the impartiality of judges and whether their rulings should reflect their political or personal viewpoints. “We are all human beings, of course, but I think as a judge you need to try and strive very, very hard to make sure you are deciding the case on something other than your own preferences and views, whatever those might be,” Jordan replied. “So, I have strived, and I hope I have achieved impartiality in my years on the bench in Miami.”

Born in Havana, Cuba, Jordan came to Miami with his family in 1968. He quickly learned English in elementary school, began playing baseball, and found himself interested in a legal career. At St. Brendan High School, he took several lawrelated courses before graduating in 1980.

As an undergraduate at the University of Miami, Jordan majored in politics and public affairs in the College of Arts and Sciences, taking classes on topics like constitutional and environmental law. He also made the varsity baseball team as a utility infielder under legendary coach Ron Fraser. Jordan graduated magna cum laude in 1984 and continued to affirm his passion for justice in his studies at the School of Law. In the third year of law school, Jordan served as articles and comments editor for the University of Miami Law Review, where he polished his writing and editing skills. His paper, “Imagery, Humor and the Judicial Opinion,” analyzed the use of literary allusions, imagery, and humor by judges in their opinions. In 1987, Jordan graduated summa cum laude and achieved his goal of entering the legal profession.

After law school, Jordan served as a clerk for Judge Thomas Alonzo Clark on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, followed by a second clerkship for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1989, Jordan returned to Miami as an associate for

Steel, Hector, and Davis, a prominent local firm. He managed litigation and appellate matters and was named a partner in 1994.

Soon after, he moved to the public sector, handling appellate matters as an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida. In 1998, he was named chief of the appellate division.

A year later, President Bill Clinton nominated Jordan to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and he was confirmed in a 93-1 vote. As a district judge, Jordan displayed his ability to address complex and challenging cases.

He presided at the trial of Hector and Eduardo Orlansky in a $164 million bank fraud case and sentenced both brothers to 20 years in prison. In a case with international ramifications, Jordan awarded $22 million in damages to a group of Liberian plaintiffs who had filed suit under a U.S. anti-torture law as victims of former Liberian president Charles Taylor.

In 2012, President Barack Obama nominated Jordan to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, which has jurisdiction over Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Today, Jordan sits as one of 11 full-time active judges on the court, supplemented by several senior judges.

“We do a lot of criminal work, as well as civil rights and diversity-related matters, and might have a fraud case, an admiralty case, and a state insurance case, on succeeding days,” said Jordan in a 2018 interview for Miami Law. “We are always moving and always learning something new.”

Since joining the School of Law’s adjunct faculty in 1989, Jordan has taught courses on federal courts, federal criminal practice, capital punishment, and judicial writing.

Jordan also has been active in national judicial organizations, serving on the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Federal Judicial Improvements from 2010 to 2012 and on the Judicial Conference’s Advisory Committee on Bankruptcy Rules from 2010 to 2016. He is a member of the American Law Institute and the Judicial Advisory Board of the American Society of International Law. Miami criminal defense lawyer and Dennis G. Kainen, J.D. ’81, once said that Jordan is one of the nation’s most evenhanded jurists. “There’s no arrogance. There’s no ego. He has a perfect demeanor.”

The University of Miami is proud to welcome Judge Adalberto Jordan as the School of Law’s commencement speaker.

ACADEMIC REGALIA The custom of wearing academic dress stems from the Middle Ages, when scholars were also clerics and wore the habits of their monastic orders. Significant parts of academic dress are the gown, the hood, and the cap. Each

has a particular significance and is worn in accordance with standards established by the Academic Costume Code of the American Council on Education.

GOWNS Gowns recommended for use in the colleges and universities of this country have different characteristics.

The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped sleeves. For the doctor’s degree the gown is faced down the front with black velvet and three bars of black velvet are sewn across

the sleeves. These facings and crossbars may be velvet of the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains.

For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctor’s gowns, edging of hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows:

President Julio Frenk wears a black robe with four black velvet bars. The fourth chevron indicates this is the presidential regalia. The gown features orange and green piping as well as a doctoral hood lined in orange, green, and white— reflecting the official University of Miami school colors.

TAMS The graduation tam is for those who have graduated with a masters or doctoral degree. Unlike the mortar board cap which is square in shape, the tam is actually circular in shape and are usually made out of velvet. What is common

24

between the mortar board cap and the tam is that both do have tassels attached to them which hang on one side when worn. These tassels serve the same purpose and are used during the celebrated turning of the tassel ceremony.

Hoods recommended for use in the colleges and universities of this country have the following characteristics. The length of the hood worn for the bachelor’s degree is three feet, for the master’s degree, three and one-half feet, and for the doctor’s degree, four feet. The hood worn for the doctor’s degree has panels at the sides. Hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree; more than one color is shown by division of the field color in a variety of ways, such as chevron or chevrons, equal division, etc.

The binding or edging of the hood is velvet or velveteen, two inches, three inches, and five inches in width for the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s degrees, respectively, while the color is indicative of the subject to which the degree pertains. For example, the trimming for the Juris Doctor degree is purple. No academic hood should ever have its border divided to represent more than a single degree.

SOME PERMISSIBLE EXCEPTIONS Members of the governing body of a college or university are entitled to wear doctor’s gowns (with black velvet), but their hoods may be only those of degrees actually held by the wearers or those specially prescribed for them by the institution. In some colleges and universities, it is customary for the president, chancellor, or chief officer to wear a costume similar to that used by the head of a foreign university. The chief marshal may wear a specially

designed costume approved by his or her institution.

Persons who hold degrees from foreign universities may wear the entire appropriate academic costume, including cap, gown, and hood. Members of religious orders and similar societies may suitably wear their customary habits.

The same principle applies to persons wearing military uniforms or clad in special attire required by a civil office.

KENTE CLOTH Kente cloth is woven by the Asante people of Ghana and the Ewe people of Ghana and Togo. The origins of West African weaving may be traced back as early as the 11th century, with regional excavations showing spindles and looms. Only men produce kente cloth’s narrow band weaves, which are 2 ½ to 4 ½ inches wide, on horizontal

treadle looms. Certain Ewe cloths are historically specific to particular rites of passage, such as marriage or the birth of a child. In present day Ghana, the wearing of kente cloth has become widespread to commemorate special occasions. Globally, the print is used in the design of academic stoles in graduation ceremonies.
