I want to talk about the responsibility that comes with the opportunity to study at the University of California at Merced. It's not enough to attend the school, to get a high-quality education and then focus selfishly on your own goals.

This is a great day in Merced and a great day in higher education.

This inaugural class will set the tone with high academic standards, a deep commitment to public service and a resolve not to fail. The main theme of the presentation will be to encourage students to set high goals and make every effort to exceed them.

It is a bittersweet experience to, on the one hand, have to testify against a client on the basis of a subpoena. But on the other hand, once you have exhausted your legal options, you are forced to, and will readily comply with, the law.
