Orientation Keynote Speaker: New Jersey’s Attorney General August 17, 2016 Although Christopher Porrino ’92 was deluged with speaking invitations after he was sworn in as Attorney General a few weeks ago, being asked to address Seton Hall 1Ls was a highpoint. When he received the invitation from Dean Boozang, he “jumped” at the opportunity to be among the first to welcome the incoming class to Seton Hall Law and to the legal profession. His own secret to success? “Reputation, leadership, and perseverance,” he said. “If you focus on these three things, everything else will fall into place.”
Law Review Symposium: Policing the Police and Community October 1, 2015 Paul Fishman, U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey, served as the morning’s keynote speaker at a forum exploring race relations between the police and minority communities, the proper use of force, and police accountability. “I congratulate you...on having the courage to take on today’s topic, ‘Policing the Police and Community,’” he said in his opening remarks. “The very title for me carries with it the understanding that the police, and the communities they protect, are inextricably linked, and that each must protect and oversee the other. It is, if you think about it, an extraordinary symbiosis, and one that may be possible only in the kind of democracy in which we live in this country.” Caption: Paul Fishman with Valerie Weiss ’16, Symposium Editor, center, and Laura Cicirelli ’16, Law Review Editor-in-Chief, right.
