Every year as summer edges ever closer, important people – ranging from the President to actors and from comedians to foreign dignitaries – flock to American Law Schools to give graduates their lessons about life, work and everything else. It is simply a tradition in America.

Called Commencement Speech, its purpose is essentially to recognize the student who have graduated, to wish the class well in whatever they do in the future, and to make people realize that it is only the beginning.

We reviewed a few law schools’ websites for their graduation plans and read a some notable blogs like Above the Law to get a sense of what’s going on in May, but if you wish to add speakers to our list, please comment or send us an email!
