Berkeley's Dean Edley is inaugural holder of legal ethics chair

From UC-Berkeley: "Dean Christopher Edley Jr. has been named the inaugural holder of the Honorable William H. Orrick Jr. Distinguished Chair in Legal Ethics and the Legal Profession."

I remember appearing before Judge Orrick.  I can only paraphrase what he said, but it has stuck with me: "I do not assign discovery disputes to magistrate judges.  I handle them myself.  I do that because I want to learn as early as possible which one of you two attorneys is afraid of the merits."  Ha!  As I recall, opposing counsel and I worked out almost all our discovery disputes.

Anyway, I'm glad to see Berkeley now has a chair in legal ethics and that Dean Edley holds it.
