A Student's Homage: Jerome Micheal

Abstract

We are all his students now, and will be through the days to come. Some of us have been his students for a good many years. It was twenty-two years ago that I first entered his classroom. The law school generation of which I was a part was a worried, depressed, depression generation. We were worried about jobs, which were hard to come by. We were bothered about the economy outside the classroom that waited for us at the end of our last law school semester. an economy which seemed cruel and unintelligent and frightened. Many of us wondered whether in the strenuous pursuit of bread and butter that loomed ahead of us we could keep a firm grip on the values of the intellect and the spirit that had led us to choose the profession of the law.
