I could not stay for the lecture because I had to attend a meeting with the Dean of a law school in India (We are soon going to launch a new partnership with this school!), but I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to greet Judge Walker.  Before the lecture began, I made sure to swing by the lobby on my way to the Bay Area, so I could thank him for coming to King Hall.

Associate Dean Vik Amar provided the introduction to Judge Walker's lecture.  Professor Emeritus and former California State Supreme Court Associate Justice Cruz Reynoso (pictured below) was in attendance, as well.
