Celebrating Our Graduating Class
American University Washington College of Law is proud to have virtually celebrated our 414 JD, 61 LL.M., one SJD, and 43 MLS graduates, including all our graduates from May 2021 and December and August 2020. The ceremony was hosted by Associate Dean David Jaffe and featured remarks from Acting Dean Robert Dinerstein and student speaker Joy Applewhite ’21, as well as a commencement address from our 2021 commencement speaker Congressman Jamie Raskin.
Watch the virtual commencement celebration here.
“Although the period from March 2020 until now will be one that you and we will never forget, recognize that your legal education has encompassed a full three or four years in which you have had the opportunity to learn and hone your critical thinking, doctrinal knowledge, lawyering skills, capacity to learn, and professional values that will stand you in good stead throughout your legal careers," Dinerstien told graduates.
