COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

Deborah Enix-Ross, B.A. ’78, J.D. ’81, is a changemaker who has used her intellect, compassion, and commitment to make the world more equitable and blaze trails in the legal profession. During her 41-year legal career, Enix-Ross has broken through numerous barriers to become one of the world’s top dispute resolution lawyers and legal leaders.

In 2022 she began her term as president of the American Bar Association (ABA), the world's largest voluntary association of lawyers, judges, and other legal professionals. Enix-Ross has approached the position with the same goals she has used throughout her life—to pay it forward and “lift as you climb.”

As the second Black woman and the third School of Law alumna to lead the ABA, Enix-Ross is focusing her presidency on civics, civility, and collaboration. “The legal profession's values must be heard loud and clear in our communities,” EnixRoss said at the 2023 midyear ABA meeting in Chicago.

The road to top attorney and ABA president was a hard one. Enix-Ross was fortunate that her childhood Harlem church bolstered her, taking notice of her aptitude for writing and speaking, and fostering it by choosing her whenever a speech was to be written or a welcome address given.

The first high school graduate in her family, Enix-Ross chose the University for her bachelor's degree because of its elite journalism program, with the plan to combine her passions for writing and public speaking into one discipline. She took those talents to the School of Law, where Enix-Ross was encouraged to join the American Bar Association, an organization dedicated to enhancing the legal profession and to which she would be elected to lead decades later.

Since graduating from the School of Law in 1981, EnixRoss’ ascent has been steady though not easy. She has dealt with the struggle of being a Black female attorney in an industry dominated by white men. After graduating, though interested in international law and hoping to land a job at a global New York firm, she was turned down at every turn.

Eventually, she accepted a job with MFY Legal Services in New York City. It took her seven years to get a job in international law when the U.S. Council for International Business hired her.

In her element, she rose quickly. Enix-Ross served as in-

house counsel and director of legal affairs and was named the American representative to the International Chamber of Commerce International Court of Arbitration, the first for a Black woman.

Enix-Ross joined Debevoise & Plimpton in 2002 and is now the senior advisor in its International Dispute Resolution Group. Previously, she was a senior legal officer with the World Intellectual Property Organization Arbitration and Mediation Center in Geneva, Switzerland. She also was a director of international litigation with Price Waterhouse.

Enix-Ross has always abided by her ethic of effecting change at the ABA. She has been a part of the association’s leadership for years, as chair of the ABA’s policymaking House of Delegates and of the ABA Center for Human Rights. As chair of the ABA International Law Section, she co-founded the Women’s Interest Network, which spotlighted women and women’s legal issues. She also worked with the International Bar Association to create its Women’s Interest Group.

In addition to her work with the ABA, Enix-Ross is active in other organizations. She is a fellow of the American Bar Foundation and has served as vice president of the World Justice Project. She is a member of the American Law Institute. EnixRoss was appointed by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and State as one of the original eight U.S. members of the trilateral NAFTA Advisory Committee on Private Commercial Disputes.

A double ’Cane, Enix-Ross also received a diploma in comparative law from the Parker School of Foreign and Comparative Law of Columbia University and a certificate in international law from the London School of Economics.

In fall 2022, the School of Law Alumni Association presented her with its Distinguished Alumna Award. Upon accepting the award, Enix-Ross said, “I was mentored at the University of Miami…every step of the way I felt supported by my classmates and by the University. From the day that I stepped at Miami Law, I was determined to make the law school proud, and I hope that I have done that.’’

For helping to make a difference in gender and racial equality in the legal profession, the University of Miami is proud to welcome Deborah Enix-Ross as the School of Law’s commencement speaker.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

The custom of wearing academic dress stems from the Middle Ages, when scholars were also clerics and wore the habits of their monastic orders. Significant parts of academic dress are the gown, the hood, and the cap. Each

has a particular significance and is worn in accordance with standards established by the Academic Costume Code of the American Council on Education.

Gowns recommended for use in the colleges and universities of this country have different characteristics. The gown for the bachelor’s degree has pointed sleeves and is designed to be worn closed. The gown for the master’s degree has an oblong sleeve, open at the wrist. The gown for the doctor’s degree has bell-shaped sleeves. For the doctor’s degree the gown is faced down the front with black velvet and three bars of black velvet are sewn across

the sleeves. These facings and crossbars may be velvet of the color distinctive of the subject to which the degree pertains.

For all academic purposes, including trimmings of doctor’s gowns, edging of hoods, and tassels of caps, the colors associated with the different subjects are as follows:

Medicine Green

Music Pink

Nursing Apricot

Oratory (Speech)

Pharmacy

Philosophy

Silver Gray

Physical Education Sage Green

President Julio Frenk wears a black robe with four black velvet bars. The fourth chevron indicates this is the presidential regalia. The gown features orange and green piping as well as a doctoral hood lined in orange, green, and white— reflecting the official University of Miami school colors.

The graduation tam is for those who have graduated with a masters or doctoral degree. Unlike the mortar board cap which is square in shape, the tam is actually circular in shape and are usually made out of velvet. What is common

between the mortar board cap and the tam is that both do have tassels attached to them which hang on one side when worn. These tassels serve the same purpose and are used during the celebrated turning of the tassel ceremony.

HOODS

Hoods recommended for use in the colleges and universities of this country have the following characteristics. The length of the hood worn for the bachelor’s degree is three feet, for the master’s degree, three and one-half feet, and for the doctor’s degree, four feet. The hood worn for the doctor’s degree has panels at the sides. Hoods are lined with the official color or colors of the college or university conferring the degree; more than one color is shown by division of the field color in a variety of ways, such as chevron or chevrons, equal division, etc.

The binding or edging of the hood is velvet or velveteen, two inches, three inches, and five inches in width for the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s degrees, respectively, while the color is indicative of the subject to which the degree pertains. For example, the trimming for the Juris Doctor degree is purple. No academic hood should ever have its border divided to represent more than a single degree.

SOME PERMISSIBLE EXCEPTIONS

Members of the governing body of a college or university are entitled to wear doctor’s gowns (with black velvet), but their hoods may be only those of degrees actually held by the wearers or those specially prescribed for them by the institution. In some colleges and universities, it is customary for the president, chancellor, or chief officer to wear a costume similar to that used by the head of a foreign university. The chief marshal may wear a specially

designed costume approved by his or her institution. Persons who hold degrees from foreign universities may wear the entire appropriate academic costume, including cap, gown, and hood. Members of religious orders and similar societies may suitably wear their customary habits. The same principle applies to persons wearing military uniforms or clad in special attire required by a civil office.

KENTE CLOTH

Kente cloth is woven by the Asante people of Ghana and the Ewe people of Ghana and Togo. The origins of West African weaving may be traced back as early as the 11th century, with regional excavations showing spindles and looms. Only men produce kente cloth’s narrow band weaves, which are 2 ½ to 4 ½ inches wide, on horizontal

treadle looms. Certain Ewe cloths are historically specific to particular rites of passage, such as marriage or the birth of a child. In present day Ghana, the wearing of kente cloth has become widespread to commemorate special occasions. Globally, the print is used in the design of academic stoles in graduation ceremonies.

ALMA MATER

Southern suns and sky blue water

Smile upon you Alma Mater

Mistress of this fruitful land

With all knowledge at your hand

Always just, to honor true

All our love we pledge to you

Alma Mater

Stand forever

On Biscayne’s wondrous shore.
