First Speaker of SPS 2018: Principal Deputy Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall

One of the main elements of the St. Albans School of Public Service program is our speaker program -- throughout the session we hear from many speakers at St. Albans School and visit others on our field trip.  On our first full day of the program, we welcomed our first speaker: Mr. Jeffrey Wall, Principal Deputy Solicitor General of the United States.   Mr. Wall is a particularly timely speaker, because the Solicitor General's Office represents the United States before the Supreme Court, and tomorrow the SPS students will be preparing and arguing a Supreme Court case from this year's Supreme Court session.  Only a few lawyers ever argue a case before the Supreme Court, so we are lucky to have Mr. Wall with us today.
