I envy new law students. I am reminded of the 1999 blockbuster The Matrix. (Never mind the sequels.) When Mr. Anderson becomes Neo, he sees the code that makes up the reality around him. That’s what law school will do. You’ll wake up and say, “I know kung fu.” You will perceive the law that constitutes society around you.
— Frank H. Wu, Chancellor & Dean of UC Hastings College of the Law, reflecting on the perception-changing experience of starting law school.
