Join LAW SCHOOL... Yes We Can for a night of networking and supporting our Fellows in achieving their dreams of attaining a higher education.
This year, we are honored to have Denver District Attorney, John Walsh join us as our Keynote Speaker!
John moved to Denver with his family at the age of 12, and he has dedicated his life to service here. John and his wife have spent decades in Denver, raising their three children, graduates of the Denver Public Schools. John has an accomplished legal record, having won national level cases against big banks, Wall Street, and major pharmaceutical companies.
John has long been a staunch advocate for sentencing reforms. He worked on President Obama's clemency project, working to reduce long, nonviolent drug offenses. He is a fervent believer in democracy, and his legal expertise was showcased when he successfully represented the Biden campaign and protected our democracy by fighting the post-2020 election cases in Michigan that challenged President-elect Joe Biden’s win. John served as Vice-Chair of the Denver Public Safety Review Commission – Denver’s original civilian oversight board for police and public safety agencies. He has worked tirelessly advocating for LGBTQ+ rights and reproductive rights in the federal courts and before the U.S. Supreme Court. John has helped found and lead community nonprofits focused on early childhood education, and advises schools that offer dual language education. His lifetime of community and public service reflects his unwavering dedication to justice and to making our city, state and country a better place.
