Alumni

Past chairpersons and editors have since become luminaries in their respective fields. Some have served in the public sector as chief justices, associate justices of the Supreme Court and appellate courts, and judges in lower courts; top officials of the Executive Branch; legislators in both houses of Congress; members of the diplomatic corps; and officials of international bodies. Others have excelled in private practice, establishing institutional law firms or serving as managing or senior partners in prominent firms. Still, others have become distinguished members of the academe.
