What judges are saying about
Professor Ifill | |||||||
| “Professor Ifill is an
outstanding legal scholar and speaker on issue of diversity. Her presentation at the
joint Circuit Conference was most intellectually challenging
speech at the conference. I cannot wait to hear her again at the
Mason Memorial lecture. – Chief Judge Michael J. Davis |
|||||||
| “I thought her talk was
terrific. It was one of those
rare instances when the speaker immediately captures everyone’s
attention. I thought her insights on the topic of diversity were
very thoughtful and thought-provoking. It is not too often
that a convention speech leads to spontaneous discussions between
audience members as they leave the room. Her speech did.” – Magistrate Judge Arthur J. Boylan | |||||||
| “This was one
of the best diversity programs I have attended. Prof. Ifill took on
some very challenging issues in a first rate presentation
which was backed up by careful, sound research and data. She really
knows her stuff! This will be a great Mason lecture.” – Magistrate Judge Jeffrey J. Keyes |
|||||||
| “I was
particularly intrigued by Professor Ifill’s
arguments about how readily we
accept the concept of geographical diversity as a requirement for
the composition of a circuit court but have much greater problem
with racial and gender diversity. Her presentation last summer was
full of amusing and surprising historical factoids. I predict
she’ll continue the tradition of great speakers for Mason
lecture.” – Judge Ann D. Montgomery | |||||||
