Brooklyn Law School welcomes first-year students during 118th convocation
Brooklyn Law School performed its 118th convocation as more than 300 first-year students assembled on the campus’ Joralemon Street courtyard on Monday before marching across Cadman Plaza to the U.S. District Court on Cadman Plaza East.
The mass of students, guided by Brooklyn Law School Interim Dean and Professor of Law Maryellen Fullerton, Vice Dean Steven Dean and Dean of Admission Eulas Boyd Jr., walked behind the school’s distinctive red banner.
“After my son was born, I felt as though I’d reached a glass ceiling, career-wise,” said Michael Blackmon, a University of Iowa graduate. Blackmon worked as a school teacher. “But I want do more,” he said.
