Finals

Although there is an enormous amount going on right now, especially for the week leading into the holidays, I’m not going to write tonight. I’m in the throes of grading final exams before my kids get home for the holidays, and my head is too full of the issues my students are analyzing to break away.

But I wanted to share with you how much reading their thoughtful, smart exams reminds me that our future is in good hands. The next generation still cares about the rule of law. Getting it right matters to them.

Teaching always fills me with a sense of love and optimism, and never more so than in moments like these when I see a semester’s study come to fruition, and I see the progress these people who are going to commit their lives to law and justice are making with sheer grit and hard work. We owe it to them to get as much right as we possibly can before it’s their turn!

Bella is exhausted by all of the hard work I’m doing. I’m grateful for her support, if not the snores.

We’re in this together,

Joyce
