Check out this great interview with my friend, C. Evan Stewart, Cornell Law School Class of 1977, about his new book, "Myron Taylor: The Man Nobody Knew." Most people at Cornell know Myron Taylor as the man who donated the Law School building that bears his name, but he was a major figure on the domestic and world stages, with major contributions in business, the economy, politics, and world diplomacy. All of these contributions to history are documented, explained, and contextualized by Stewart. It's also an entertaining read! https://lnkd.in/e9ddevqD

Fantastic match between Popyrin and Djokovic tonight at the US Open. Humid conditions. Both players appealing to the Flushing Meadows crowd for energy and support. Clutch performance from Popyrin, who is peaking at the right moment and fresh off his recent win at the Canadian Open. Before the match began, when they walked onto the court, they both passed the plaque on the wall with the quote from Billie Jean King. The 1Ls at Cornell Law School, who heard my speech at orientation and have just completed the first week of classes, will certainly get the reference, and its relevance for legal education and for the practice of law. Popyrin surely felt the pressure tonight, but it was a privilege.

First day of JD orientation at Cornell Law School. So excited for classes to begin soon now that Myron Taylor Hall is bustling again. I gave them life lessons from Billie Jean King and the world of tennis: pressure is a privilege, as she liked to say. Sage advice for law students and for lawyers too. I’m inspired by this next cohort of lawyers in the best sense—the Class of 2027!

I was very proud to officiate graduation today for the Class of 2024 of our Master of Science in Legal Studies at Cornell Law School. These graduates have already accomplished a lot in their illustrious careers, but they have even greater things in store for them now that they have spent time with us. We are sad to see them go but hopeful about a future with them at the helm. Go Big Red!

I can't tell you how excited I am about this development. One of my top priorities that I articulated when I first became dean was to make Cornell Law School the center for entrepreneurship law on the East Coast and then the whole country. Spanning the main campus in Ithaca to the Cornell Tech campus on Roosevelt Island, we are helping to train the next generation of entrepreneurs and the lawyers who will serve them. I'm grateful for the work of Celia Bigoness, the Blassberg-Rice family, and especially David Reiss for joining our entrepreneurship team that will now span across New York City and Ithaca and beyond. https://lnkd.in/eaWfi6Kc

I was really honored and excited to formally welcome this morning the new Cornell Law School LLM Class of 2025, who have travelled from all over the world to study law in Ithaca. They are amazing. I talked about Cornell Law’s great legacy in the field of comparative law, and I urged them to take advantage of the insights they will learn from their professors, but also from each other. In the coming years, the frontiers of global law will be reimagined by the lawyers in this room. And it all starts today!

Absolutely gutted to read the upsetting news reports that Bradley Bartlett, who graduated ten years ago from Cornell Law School, died on July 4, along with his wife, their 9-year-old child, and their 3-week old child, in a car crash in the State of Washington. Their two-year old child survived the accident and was taken to the hospital. Bartlett was a double Cornellian, with a degree in political science in 2011, followed by his law degree in 2014 from Cornell Law School, where he served as senior articles editor of the Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy and also served on the Moot Court Board and the Mock Trial team. After graduation, Bradley worked as a local prosecutor in New Mexico, then served as an Assistant United States Attorney working on important organized crime and federal drug trafficking investigations, before moving to the Northwest to work as a deputy prosecutor in Benton County. 💔 💔 💔 https://lnkd.in/ef4nkBek
