Dean Post Welcomes the J.D. Class of 2013 to Yale Law School

In his convocation address on Wednesday, August 25, Dean Robert Post ’77 welcomed the 205 members of the Yale Law School J.D. Class of 2013—a diverse and extraordinary group winnowed down from 3800 applicants for admission. It was the 199th class of new students at Yale Law School. “For this one astonishing moment,” said the dean, “you are poised at the very edge of what undoubtedly will become one of the great adventures of your life…Take in the fragile anticipation of this moment and treasure it, because it is filled with the potential of new futures.”
