Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on January 12, 1942)

Happy Birthday, Bernardine! From challenging the status quo during your anti-Vietnam War activism days to inspiring countless students as a respected professor at Northwestern Law, you've certainly stirred up quite a bit more than just legal theory. Your dedication continues to ignite minds—and perhaps occasionally spark classroom debates hotter than campus coffee!

Here's wishing you another year of success and memorable achievements—though how you'll top making social justice resonate across generations is anyone's guess. May this birthday bring laughter that's louder than student protests (but without paperwork!) and joy infinitely more satisfying than winning academic arguments.

Cheers!
