Students, faculty, administration and staff that attended and asked thoughtful questions. I want to particularly commend the student attendees who were the consummate professionals and carried themselves as future bar presidents themselves. I'm extremely proud to be a part of this sacred community and look forward to hosting future forums with bar leaders.
