The resolution recognizes and honors the Founding Class of Antioch School of Law in celebration of their 50th Reunion, scheduled for 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 came from diverse backgrounds and have since made significant contributions as legal aid attorneys, public defenders, judges, and advocates across various fields, including civil rights and juvenile justice.

The resolution highlights the profound impact of the founding class on both the legal profession and their communities, noting their involvement in landmark legal initiatives and civic engagement efforts. 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 justice, equity, and community empowerment, and the resolution takes effect immediately.
