Today was meaningful. I went to a symposium at GWU Law School honoring and celebrating the life and legacy of Louis B. Sohn who recently passed away. Sohn was a law professor at Harvard, contributed to the drafting of the UN charter, and was the model for an outstanding international lawyer. The whole thing was very inspirational. I was of course the youngest there, and it felt special to be a part of continuing his legacy. I got to smooze with the Dean of Yale Law School over champagne.
As Sohn would say, the model for an excellent international lawyer is the giraffe: it has its feet in on the ground but its head in the clouds.
It seemed appropriate that I was wearing my infamous giraffe skirt.
