LSU Law Graduation Speakers; Who Were Some of the Greats?

I remember we had Chief Justice Bernette Joshua Johnson speak. She talked at length about diversity, and I remember feeling cheated. I wanted James Carville.
Who was your graduation speaker? What wisdom did they impart, and how has it helped you fare in the trenches of legal combat?
I know Gov. Mike Foster spoke in the mid-90s. Pretty ridiculous, since he had a well-known and open hatred of trial lawyers (then again, he was a Southern grad).
How many of you plan to speak at the commencement one day?

Can't answer since I didn't go to law school. I didn't want to spend all that money for an education that would only net me a paltry sum since everyone and their dog goes to law school, causing the market to be flooded.

Chief Justice Johnson. It was garbage.

I went to Swagga U and we had Stephanie Finley speak. She is the US Attorney for the Western District and has just been nominated to take Judge Haik's spot on the bench. I also once rode alone in a car with her from Shreveport to Lafayette 
. She's a cool lady and I think she'll do great on the bench.

Todd Graves. Pretty decent speech. We all got free Canes.

Ours was Joel Klein, who is considered one of the most influential men in public education. Basically turned around the NY Public School System.
Most of my classmates felt like they deserved better, but the guy was pretty fascinating. I mean, he accomplished more than probably any of us ever will.
To my classmates' credit, his speech was rather dull. Had some interesting parts, but overall meh.

If you need a lawyer to represent you regarding the obvious butthurt in your life, call SFP.

The collective gasp created a vacuum in the room
