Sandra Day O’Connor
speaks at law school
■ A dedication ceremony
was held earlier this month
to recognize the contributors
of the new building
By Sara Lieberth
Oregon Daily Emerald
United States Supreme Court
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor re
cently encouraged law profession
als at the University to set new
goals for their profession.
As the keynote speaker at the
dedication ceremony for the new
William W. Knight Law Center at
the University School of Law on
Sept. 15, O’Connor addressed a
crowd of 1,000 law students, local
dignitaries, lawyers and judges
from across the state.
The $26 million structure was
made possible, according to Law
School Dean Rennard Strickland,
by more privately raised dollars
than any other project in the
school’s history. This includes the
“transformational gift” of Univer
sity graduate Phil Knight, co
founder and CEO of Nike, Inc.,
who Strickland graciously praised
for his dedication both to the
school’s expansion goals and to
his father, William W. Knight, a
1932 graduate of the law school.
“A son’s act, honoring his fa
ther, allows us to affirm the Ore
gon Law School’s traditions,”
Strickland said. “This fulfills the
promise and hope for the school’s
future and allows us to fitly edu
cate our lawyers.”
University President Dave
Frohnmayer said though the phys
ical building was held together by
the construction materials of glue,
nails and mortar, the building and
what it stands for “is really held to
gether by each of you,” acknowl
edging the many generous bene
factors in attendance.
Following remarks from John
Jaqua, who headed the capital
campaign for the project and for
whom the new 35,000-square-foot
law library is named, O’Connor
eloquently challenged the audi
ence to move back to the time
when lawyers were highly re
spected members of society.
She discussed the lack of pro
fessionalism in law today and at
tributed the decline to a focus on
making financial concerns a prior
ity over dedicated service and a
“growing incivility” among practi
tioners.
O’Connor also called for the le
gal community to do more public
service and pro bono work for the
underprivileged and under repre
sented.
“Public service marks the differ
ence between a business and a
profession,” she said. “Businesses
can attend to the bottom line, a
profession cannot.”
O’Connor concluded by en
couraging the law school’s stu
dents, faculty and staff to “fulfill
the promise laid before you as you
enjoy this new building,” and take
the opportunity presented by the
facility to further the objectives
she’d outlined.
“It will mean making the dis
tinction between doing well and
doing good,” she said.
The nation’s first female
Supreme Court Justice was then
presented the highest honor given
by the law school, the Meritorious
Service Award by Frohnmayer.
