Supreme Semester: The Wrap Up
The Supreme Semester 2008 wrapped up with the stirring Commencement Address delivered by Linda Greenhouse, who in 1998 won the Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of the United States Supreme Court, so I thought I would wrap up with some photos from a fun and history-making year at RWU Law.
