He is the first African American ever to serve as attorney general, and his six years in the position marked the third-longest tenure for an attorney general in U.S. history.

Holder previously worked as an investigator and prosecutor of official corruption for the U.S. Department of Justice, as a judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia and as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. A native of New York City, he is a graduate of Columbia College and Columbia Law School.

Mnookin, Professor of the Year honoree LaToya Baldwin Clark, J.D. graduate Taylor de Laveaga and LL.M. graduate Adwoa Ankoma. Graduating class president Sara Williams, LL.M. graduate Shuping Dong and J.D. graduate Melodie Meyer will offer additional remarks.
