Senator Christopher J. Dodd, a 1972 law graduate of the University of Louisville, was profiled this weekend in a New York Times column by Gail Collins:


Mr. Dodd's Best/Worst Year Senator Dodd

Big week in Washington, what with final action on the tobacco regulation bill, under the leadership of Senator Christopher Dodd.

Congress has really been on a roll. Remember how they passed that consumer credit card bill under the leadership of Senator Christopher Dodd and the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act sponsored by Senator Christopher Dodd? There is, of course, still so much to do. We’re hoping for a strong health care bill like the one co-written by Ted Kennedy and Senator Christopher Dodd. And the Obama plan to create a new agency to protect consumers of financial products. It got a big boost Friday when it received the strong support of the banking committee chairman, Senator Christopher Dodd.

What is it with this guy? Are they running out of senators or something?


Here at the Senator's alma mater, we'd like to think that Senator Dodd's recent flurry of legislative activity demonstrates how well he has put his legal education to use. Like all of his fellow graduates, in all walks of professional life, Christopher Dodd is a source of pride for UofL Law. We congratulate him. And yes, in case you're wondering, we're following his Twitter account.
