The memory that best describes the King Hall experience and community to me is of something that was said on, I believe, the first day of my orientation. My new classmates and I were sitting in a room at the Mondavi Center and Dean Kulwin took to the podium. After a few remarks, she did not use the line that supposedly signifies the rigors of being at a top law school: “Look to your left, look to your right, because one of you won’t be here by the end of the year.” Instead, Dean Kulwin stated something to the effect of, if not exactly, “Look left, look right. These are your colleagues for the rest of your career. Be nice to them, help them when they ask. If they need notes from a missed class, provide them. You are all in this together.” It was that statement that I believe set the tone for an amazing three years at King Hall – three years that culminated with arriving at the Bar Exam and knowing that I was not alone, and that my classmates were supporting me and that I was giving that same support back.
