Which law school graduation speakers would you most like to hear?

By Ann Althouse

Paul Caron has a big list. I won't say which ones seem most appallingly tedious ? but you can do so in the commentsd. I'll be positive. Here are some that stand out to me:

American: Stephen Breyer (Justice, Supreme Court)
Catholic: Samuel Alito (Justice, Spreme Court)
Loyola-New Orleans: Scott Turow (legal novelist)
Northeastern: Stephen Breyer (Justice, Supreme Court )[He gets around!]
Northwestern: Jerry Springer (TV show host; former Mayor of Cincinnati)
Vanderbilt: Nicholas Zeppos (Chancellor, Vanderbilt)[I love Nick, but... come on!]
William & Mary: Sandra Day O'Connor (retired Justice, Supreme Court)
Yale: Kenji Yoshino (Professor, Yale)[Again... come on!]

First, Yale, Vanderbilt... no insiders! Disqualifed! Second, Supreme Court Justice? Show-offy catch, but not creative enough to impress me. That leaves 2 nominees for my little contest:

Scott Turow
Jerry Springer

Can I see them throw chairs at each other? No? Then, the answer is obvious: Jerry!
