Kelly Armstrong told 71 graduating law students and an auditorium packed with family, friends and other guests during the UND School of Law graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Judges, prosecutors, negotiators, professors and others use empathy to help them do their jobs, Armstrong said during the Saturday, May 10, event. Law, and the world in general, will be better if people make empathy a bigger part of their personality, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEmpathy is the secret sauce that makes good lawyers great,\u201d Armstrong said. \u201cUnderstanding people\u2019s strengths, their weaknesses, their motivations, why they do what they do, and caring about why they do what they do, really understanding who they are. Empathizing with their circumstances is the most effective tool in a lawyer\u2019s arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event was held at the Chester Fritz Auditorium. Armstrong was chosen to give the commencement speech by a vote of the graduating class, said UND School of Law Dean Brian Pappas. Armstrong graduated as a Juris Doctor from the UND School of Law in 2003. His brother and wife also are graduates of the school; Armstrong said they would have been more likely to be voted to give the address due to their academic diligence.<\/p>\n<p>During his address, Armstrong listed titles and names \u2014 official and unofficial, positive and negative \u2014 that the students might be called in their coming careers. Among them: counselor, professor, prosecutor, judge, shyster, pettifogger, business adviser, problem solver and trusted adviser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomebody in here is Googling &#8216;pettifogger&#8217; right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The definition of pettifogger, a Google search later showed, is &#8220;an inferior legal practitioner, especially one who deals with petty cases or employs dubious practices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a lot of official and unofficial titles in the practice of law, but I always just preferred &#8216;lawyer.&#8217; A trusted and diligent lawyer is really essential to the success of just about every facet of modern life,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also gave more advice for the students. He encouraged every student, no matter what field they eventually choose, to experience what it\u2019s like in a courtroom \u2014 at least once. He told the students not to make promises or declarations until they\u2019ve seen all the evidence; they don\u2019t need to participate in every fight they\u2019re invited to; remember how to talk in the common language when explaining legal terms; return phone calls; do not create a \u201clegal alter ego;\u201d don\u2019t take criticism from someone they wouldn\u2019t take advice from; and don\u2019t suffer life paralysis.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong\u2019s last point was to not get so focused on one goal that other opportunities are missed. He used his own life as an example. He came to law school to be a title lawyer because of his dad\u2019s oil and gas business, then became a criminal defense attorney, state senator, congressman and now governor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of our futures are determined by circumstances beyond our control,\u201d he said. \u201cCall it faith, call it luck. I call it life, and we all only get one of those to live. \u2026 In 20 years, your future will be very different from what you, your friends, your family or even your professors think it looks like today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grandforksherald.com\/news\/local\/gov-kelly-armstrong-tells-und-law-school-grads-to-have-empathy-lawyers-are-essential-to-success\">Read the Grand Forks Herald Article<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The graduating class voted to invite Armstrong to deliver the commencement address.
