We want to be set apart for Gods use and be dedicated in the midst of all sorts of crosswinds in the culture and in legal academia, Tan said. We want to be a faithful part of His Kingdom. I also want to be consecrated myself, to stewarding the School of Law well and seeking to fulfill what He would want to do through the School of Law.
