Abstract: On April 15, 2011, the University of Wisconsin hosted an event that I was regrettably unable to attend, “Honoring Professor James E. Jones, Jr.: A Hastie Fellow Reunion and Workshop.” From a peer standpoint, I missed the opportunity to be with my dear friends Michael Green, Michele Goodwin, Adele Morrison, and Thomas Mitchell. The five of us were in residence at the law school at the same time in the late 1990s, making up the largest single collection of Hasties-in-progress. I also missed the perfect opportunity to thank Jim Jones in person, not just for his fortitude in envisioning and executing the Hastie Program, but for his unapologetic optimism for what lay ahead for legal education.
