Osler's Razor

As mentioned below, Saturday's graduation decimated the ranks of BLS bloggers. One of the students I have most admired over the past few years has been Craig Pankratz. His blog is different than most of the others, in that he devoted it mainly to faith issues. Specifically, he used the blog to explain things about his Mormon faith to those of us who did not understand much about it. I, for one, learned a lot from what he shared, and always admired the sincerity and commitment reflected in his words.

Beyond his blogging, Craig was my research assistant and played a big role in almost everything I was able to get done the past quarter. His work was efficient, well-written, and clear, and that is pretty darn good. Like Stephen Baker, I know that Craig will make a great lawyer, and that whoever hires him will reflect on that hiring as a great decision. At the same time, I will miss not only his help but his presence here at the law school.
