For those of you who may have missed it last weekend, Notre Dame Law School professor Jimmy Gurule was featured in a video clip during the Notre Dame/Purdue game. The clip can be found here.
I do not know Jimmy Gurule as the former Under Secretary for Enforcement for the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or as the one-time Deputy Chief of the Major Narcotics Section of the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney’s Office (where he was dubbed the "Eagle of the Courtroom"). I only know Professor Gurule as one of the most well-respected (and often intimidating) criminal law professor at the law school. I had Professor Gurule for criminal law my first year at Notre Dame Law School, and whether we were discussing the far-reaching impact of anti-gang loitering statutes on society, or truly exploring the concept of self-defense from both a legal and moral standpoint, his class helped me become the "different kind of lawyer" referred to in the video clip.
More information regarding Professor Gurule can be found at his faculty bio page. As for the TV commercial, I feel it presents the law school (and Notre Dame) in a good light by focusing on one special member of its impressive faculty (and a voice-over by Regis never hurts anything).
