We all need more than one draft to get it right : Westmoreland to law grads
By Gitanjali Hazarika


"We all need more than one draft to get it right," divulged Samford University President Andrew Westmoreland to his students, the 158 law graduates from the University's Cumberland School. He was presiding at his first law school commencement after assuming office last year.

Addressing the student body as a speaker, Westmoreland stated that "great writing, great ideas, great lives" are the results of decades of toil and hard work. "Leave time for editing" he advised, encouraging the students to draw a parallel in life of settling for a first draft versus edited drafts.

Life, as a draft too " takes a lot of editing," he told the gathering in Samford's Wright Center Concert Hall. He further explained the long process that experience takes to shape it up finally as a complete and edited draft.

He expressed concern at the fact that most of us today neglect the importance of editing our work, for whatever reason, and says, it will be very misrepresenting if we were to be identified through the first drafts of our work only.

Referring to Ernest Hemingway’s last incomplete novel, as edited by his son, Patrick and published posthumously, Westmoreland said that it leaves room for "some doubt whether this is a first draft, second draft or a 15th draft." He states that he feels "captivated" by the inconsistencies in a situation where the possibly unedited and half-done novel of a great author is being published. 

In the ceremony, Law School Dean John L. Carroll acknowledged Bains Fleming of Wellington, president of the class of 2007 as the recipient of the inaugural Daniel Austin Brewer Professionalism Award. The new award, instituted by former Alabama Gov. Albert Brewer in his father’s honor, is to be given to a third-year law student with high standard of ethics and professionalism in the legal profession.
