Professor Brook Baker ’76 moderated the discussion.
Saturday’s morning program opened with a welcome from Dean Hackney, who shared the latest news from the School of Law and introduced this year’s keynote speaker, the Honorable Donald Cabell ’91, US Magistrate Judge, District of Massachusetts. “I’ve had a blessed career and I give all of the credit to Northeastern,” said Cabell.
Our “Conversations With …” program followed. Six graduates who are at the top of their game were interviewed by faculty and fellow alumni/ae.

Friday, October 22, 2021 7:00 – 8:00 PM ET Judiciary Under Fire
Location: Virtual
Judges are the first line of defense in upholding the rule of law. Today, in holding that line, they are facing challenges of historic proportions. Like so much else in this country, the judiciary is increasingly seen as politicized, with those on the right and the left weighing in on the merits—and possible rulings—of judges appointed by Democratic presidents versus those appointed by Republican presidents. And what about the ideologies that judges themselves bring to the bench: conservative, liberal and progressive? Join us for a discussion on these topics as we consider what can be done to restore faith in an impartial judiciary and protect the judiciary from physical danger.Moderator:
