                         Tuesday, June 9, 2015

  Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize 
and congratulate the Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law for 
their many years of outstanding leadership in education and remarkable 
services to the Central Coast community.
   The Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law have educated over 
1,800 graduates who today serve in leadership positions in legal 
practice, government, business and non-profit organizations.
   For over 45 years, the Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law 
have provided numerous opportunities and access to legal training in 
the practice of law through its Juris Doctor and Master of Legal 
Training degree programs. Through legal clinics, public service 
programs, and the work of its students as interns for governmental 
entities and non-profit organizations, the Colleges of Law have further 
reinforced the rule of law and access to legal services. Furthermore, 
these colleges have been active stewards of the community by providing 
space, sponsorship and support for local law-related activities, 
including those of judiciary, bar associations, bar foundations, 
schools and other groups throughout the region.
   On the occasion of its 45th anniversary, it is my sincere pleasure 
to honor the Santa Barbara and Ventura Colleges of Law for its 
contributions to academic excellence in the teaching of law and to the 
service and community leadership provided by its graduates.
