                         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.
