On May 11 at 10 a.m., we celebrate all of our J.D. and LL.M. graduates at the 2018 Commencement. It’s one of the most exciting days here at the law school. This year, we are honored to welcome Governor Brian Sandoval as our commencement speaker.
 
This year's faculty remarks will be given by founding faculty member, Professor Terrill Pollman who created our top-ranked legal writing program. Student remarks will be made by full-time J.D. graduate Ryan Saldanha, part-time J.D. graduate Steve Jimenez, and LL.M. graduate R. Scott Rasmussen.

Student Spotlight: Leonardo Benavides

You've spent some time working in the political arena. Is that an arena to which you'd ever wish to return?

Yes, politics while often messy, is always interesting and changes daily. It’s also a bit of a mental challenge that I welcome when it comes to figuring out where the politics end and where the policy begins. Most importantly, it’s a great way to try and help solve many of the problems facing our state today.
