I just got off the phone with a former student who could not stop praising Eric Stern for the remarkable assistance he provided her in finding a federal judicial clerkship two years ago, and for the help he is providing her today in helping her make her next move. I believe the way she put it — after detailing the remarkable way that Eric stays in touch with graduates to gauge their satisfaction and to glean information about potential openings for others — was, “I would not have this job were it not for Eric Stern.” I can only imagine the number of Berkeley Law students who can and would say exactly the same thing. Kudos to Eric for the energy, care, and skill he brings to helping young lawyers on their way and supporting them throughout their careers. He truly embodies the Berkeley Way.
