What judges are saying
about Professor Ifill
Â
|
�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.

�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 |
