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 and progressive change. The founding class, which graduated in 1975, exemplified this mission through their diverse backgrounds and dedication to civil rights, public service, and legal education. Their post-graduation contributions include roles as legal aid attorneys, public defenders, judges, and advocates, impacting various fields such as juvenile justice, workers' rights, and Native American affairs.

The resolution highlights the significant achievements of the founding class, including the establishment of the Juvenile Rights Project and landmark consumer protection laws, as well as their involvement in civic engagement activities like the March on Washington. 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.
