A Note on Our Name and Logo Our alumni magazine is called The Bridge for a few reasons. Its goal is to serve as a bridge that connects alumni, faculty, students, and administrators. The name is also directly linked with the bridge in the law school’s logo, which celebrates our Boston home and the school’s innovators, and recalls the spirit of graduate Leonard P. Zakim ’78, for whom the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge in Boston is named. THE BRIDGE Peter L.

Dean John F. O’Brien ’77 < A Conversation with the Dean The Bridge: This spring the law school community was scheduled to hear keynote addresses from prominent individuals at both the Law Day Banquet and Commencement. What would you like students to take away from these speeches? Dean O’Brien: I hope that students will gain a deeper understanding of the legal system and the legislative process by hearing the perspective of judges whose decisions have influenced the law and political leaders who are instrumental in managing our government. The distinguished people who speak at our events have succeeded at the highest levels of their professions. Our two keynote speakers this year, Congressman Joseph P. Kennedy III and Chief Judge Patti B. Saris, provide great examples of careers in public service. Congressman Kennedy has made impressive strides since his election to the House of Representatives and has focused on crucial issues for the Commonwealth and the country. Chief Judge Saris worked for the Senate Judiciary Committee and was an assistant United States attorney before becoming a judge. She is now the chief judge of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and has sat on the United States Sentencing Commission. Both speakers have a great deal to teach our students. The Bridge: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will teach in the program in Valletta, Malta. This is the eighth time a Supreme Court justice has taught in one of our programs in the past decade. 2  The Bridge
