(Juliana Lamar, a recent graduate of Belmont University College of Law, interned with Dinkins during her first year of law school, and was mentored by him as a 2L. Sarah Martin, one of Lamar’s law school classmates, filmed the swearing-in ceremony, and noted that not only did her friend gave birth to her son during their third year, but that she was a “badass” who was “back at school within a week of an emergency c-section before she was even allowed to drive or climb stairs.” Congratulations!)
