“Mike was one of the best and most important leaders Berkeley has ever had,” said Christopher Edley, Jr., dean of UC Berkeley’s School of Law. “He stayed a part of this community, which he loved so deeply and served so well, until the end of his life, and he’ll remain a part of it for as long as he’s remembered, and beyond.”

Edley praised Liu for his “patience, clarity, organization, humor, a balanced temperament, and good listening skills.” Edley said “there was no one on the faculty more widely respected or more genuinely admired for his fairness, collegiality, and good judgment.”

Sklansky said he was impressed with Liu’s “powerful intellect but also with his character:  his decency, his open-mindedness, and his evenhandedness.”

“Anyone who watched professor Liu testify during the rigorous Senate hearings on Capitol Hill knows that he’s an exemplary scholar with enormous constitutional knowledge and intellectual rigor,” Edley said. “Our students and faculty will miss his leadership and scholarship dearly, but it’s a higher calling and California’s gain.”

In Brown’s news release Tuesday, Liu said he’s “deeply honored” by this new nomination and looks forward “to the opportunity to serve the people of California on our state’s highest court.”

I am choosing to exercise this autonomy in the coming year to effectively reverse this last minute fee increase for all three of our JD classes, including our new admits…. This increase is just too much, and it came too late. I am optimistic that these added financial aid costs can be offset by increased alumni donations as the economy recovers, and by continuing efforts to hold down less-than-essential expenses.
