Honorary Fellows of Penn Law School Gather Together for the First Time in a Roundtable Discussion of Public Interest Lawyering In honor of the University of Pennsylvania Law School’s Sesquicentennial Year, the school hosted the first reunion of its cadre of Honorary Fellows. Each year at graduation, Penn Law names a lawyer whose contributions to public interest law have been historic or exemplary to become an Honorary Fellow of the Law School. This year’s gathering, held on the Thursday evening before the start
of the Sparer Symposium, provided an occasion for these maverick lawyers
to be nostalgic, jovial, impassioned, and hopeful about the future of
lawyering in the public interest. David Rudovsky moderated the
roundtable discussion that was video recorded for posterity along with
individual oral history interviews with the participants. To begin the
discussion, he asked the panel to describe some of their successes, their
failures, and what they, as practitioners, can do to make changes to further
the public interest law movement in 2001. Some of their responses appear
on the facing page.
