The resolution recognizes and honors the Founding Class of Antioch School of Law in celebration of their 50th Reunion on September 13, 2025. Founded in 1972 by Jean Camper Cahn and Edgar S. Cahn, the school aimed to educate lawyers committed to social justice. The founding class, which graduated in 1975, exemplified this mission by challenging traditional legal education and advocating for expanded access to justice. Members of this class have made significant contributions in various fields, including civil rights, public service, and legal education, serving as legal aid attorneys, public defenders, and educators across the nation.

The resolution highlights the profound impact of the founding class on their communities and the legal profession, noting their involvement in significant social movements and initiatives that promote justice and equity. Their legacy continues through the University of the District of Columbia David A. Clarke School of Law, which upholds the values of justice and service in legal education. The Council of the District of Columbia expresses its gratitude for the founding class's enduring commitment to community empowerment and their historic contributions to public interest law.
