The University of Colorado Law School is pleased to announce that will be the speaker for the Colorado Law Class of 2025 commencement recognition ceremony.

“We are thrilled to have Professor Bloom as this year’s commencement speaker,"��said Dean Lolita Buckner Inniss. “He is a distinguished teacher and mentor and has greatly��impacted our students through his dedication in the classroom. His experience makes him someone who will inspire our graduates as they begin their legal careers.” ������

Professor Bloom joined the University of Colorado Law School faculty in 2012.�� Prior to his tenure at Colorado Law, he clerked for the Honorable Sidney Thomas of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and for the Honorable Marilyn Hall Patel of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. Bloom's scholarship concentrates on issues of structure, method, and design in modern federal courts. He teaches Civil Procedure, Evidence, Federal Courts, and related courses.��

Professor Bloom received his JD from Stanford Law School, where he graduated Order of the Coif. He holds a bachelor's degree from Washington University in St. Louis.��

In addition to Professor Bloom’s remarks, Colorado Law will also present an Honorary Order of the Coif to a member of the legal community. ��The English Order of the Coif, an ancient and honored institution of the Common Law, was an association of distinguished lawyers appointed by the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. For centuries, they had the exclusive right to be barristers in that Court. The American Order was formed in 1911 for the purpose of promoting scholarship among law students. �� �� �� �� �� ����

The University of Colorado Law School, one of the 81 member law schools, became a member of the American Order of the Coif in 1942. Under the Order’s constitution, only the top 10% of the school’s graduating class is eligible for membership. Dean Lolita Buckner Inniss has selected Judge Elizabeth Brodsky ’97 as the 2025 Honorary Order of the Coif Recipient.��

Judge Brodsky was appointed to the Boulder County Court bench in 2015. Prior to her appointment, she sat on the Boulder District Court bench as a magistrate from 2011 to 2015.����
��Brodsky's personal and professional life is defined, in large part, by public service. Throughout the course of her career, she has served the most vulnerable members of our community--those living in poverty and without a home, children, the elderly and disabled, immigrants and victims of violence. In 2010, Judge Brodsky was presented with the John Marshall Award for Public Service, the Boulder County Bar Association's highest award for outstanding community service by an attorney for at-risk members of our county.������
