On May 19, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Mr. Preet Bharara, will deliver the commencement speech for Fordham Law School’s 106th graduation ceremony. If you would like a relatively short, and decidedly bland, bio of Preet, you can check out the official Fordham Law description. On the other hand, if you’d rather find out what …

An earlier editorial opined that the candidates should take themselves more seriously and provide more substance. I am writing to the voters, in the hopes that voters will also take the elections more seriously and demand more substance.
This year’s elections have been contentious in terms of marketing (spam) across the hallways. The candidates have plastered walls, lockers, and bulletin boards, …
Run-off Candidate: Michael Garza
To my fellow Fordham Law students,
My name is Michael Garza and I am running for SBA Treasurer. The results of last week’s elections were tallied and the voting for the treasurer position resulted in a tie. As a result run off elections will be held this week. I want to begin by thanking everybody that voted. If you voted for …

Letter to the Editor: Amanda Yu
Hi everyone,
I appreciate all of the opinions stated regarding the SBA elections this year including this piece. This open communication is crucial! I only wish that there was more time to flesh out all of the issues.
I know a thing or two about accountability. I don’t leave a job half done and expect someone else to pick up the slack. …
Letter to the Editor: Michael Garza
In his letter to the Record earlier today outgoing SBAVP, Albert Suh, phrased the problem we are now facing best, “the SBA is at once both not as powerful and not as powerless as many students imagine.” As a candidate in this election I struggled to find the appropriate method to target voters with a wide range of views. While …
Editorial: We Need Substance in SBA Elections

Unfortunately, many candidates do not seem to be taking the election as seriously as we expect student leaders should. Calls for toilet action plans and better coffee in the cafeteria are not solutions to the real challenges the …

Sadly, no journalism is completely free of bias, and this column is no different. Your humble correspondent must confess that one word in the English language causes him to lose any semblance …
Why is the Rum (Red Bull) Gone?
As we creep closer and closer to final exams, most Fordham Law students are preparing to spend the late hours of the night in the library. One provision no try-hard law student can do without during exam period is a massive stash of unhealthy caffeinated beverages. Probably one of the most popular of these pick-me-ups among law students is Red …
SBA Mandates Anonymous “Masquerade” Theme for 2013 Barristers’ Ball After Shitshow that was 2012 Barristers’ Ball
In response to overwhelming reports of lost dignity, unbearable shame, and uncontrollable fits of self-loathing from last year’s attendees, Fordham Law’s Student Bar Association has announced that no student will be admitted to the greatly anticipated 2013 Barrister’s Ball without wearing an ornate mask or headpiece that properly conceals that student’s identity.
Students are prohibited from removing their masks at any point in …
