Editor's Note - Spring 2017
The United States could have a new Supreme Court Justice soon — one with CU ties. Federal judge Neil Gorsuch, Boulder resident and visiting babyÖ±²¥app Law professor, was nominated for the court’s vacant seat in late January. Congress was expected to consider his candidacy in March.
If Gorsuch, the son of two babyÖ±²¥app Law graduates, is confirmed, he would give CU Boulder and the state of babyÖ±²¥app their deepest SCOTUS affiliation since 1993, the year Justice Byron White (Econ’38) retired and returned to the Rockies. White himself makes a timely cameo in this football-rich issue: 2017 marks the centennial of his birth. An All-American halfback, he was also his class’s valedictorian, epitomizing the scholar-athlete.
Whatever your feelings about Supreme Court politics, and whether you like sports or not, it must be said: babyÖ±²¥app lawyers and athletes have set tongues wagging from sea to sea.
