Suzanne Lufadeju Remarks: Randy J. Holland Celebration of Life
My name is Suzanne Lufadeju. I was Justice Holland’s Wolcott Fellow in 2010 and his law clerk in 2011. At that point in my career, Justice Holland believed in me more than I believed in myself. He was my first mentor and advocate. It took years for me to come into my own, to recognize…

My name is Gail Lafferty, and I clerked for Justice Holland in 1991 and 1992. One thing that I loved about Justice Holland was the way that he would say my name whenever he would see me or we talked on the phone. It didn’t matter if it had been a few months or a…
