WCL Raskin Book

Mio caro Jamie, Since I arrived at the Washington College of Law you have been an inspiring intellectual force, a generous friend, the funniest colleague and the moral center at our school. I’m always struck by how the personal and the political could coexist beautifully and in harmony in your work and life. When I was teaching local government law in 2014, I followed you with my students to Annapolis to see your stellar legislative work

inspired by social justice on so many different fronts. In 2021, while teaching Constitutional law, your magnificent quotes from Congress remind my students how law should be interpreted to achieve justice and defend our democracy. With your gorgeous family, you made our wedding inWellfleet the most memorable and hilarious event of the year. Nomatter where you are, your footprints are still in theWCL building with us, in the lives of your former students and on the ultimate progressive Frisbee that my family loves to play with. Brishen and I are full of gratitude and humbled by your, Sarah, Hannah, Tabitha, Potter and Toby’s friendships. We miss and talk about Tommy’s humanity and altruismwith Simone and Gio, to remind us what we owe to each other and how to keep us all real despite our great privileges. You are in our hearts and minds. Fernanda
