Chief Justice David E. Gilbertson of the South Dakota Supreme Court delivered the keynote address "What Next?" to USD graduates. Gilbertson is a native of northeast South Dakota and a 1975 graduate of the University of South Dakota School of Law. He was appointed to the South Dakota Supreme Court in April 1995 to represent the 5th Supreme Court District. The longest serving chief justice of the state Supreme Court, Gilbertson has been elected to three, four-year terms as chief justice beginning in 2001. Prior to serving on the state Supreme Court, Gilbertson engaged in private practice from 1975 until his appointment to the circuit court bench in 1986. Additionally, he served as deputy state’s attorney and as an attorney for several municipalities and school districts.  Before earning his Juris Doctor from the USD School of Law, Gilbertson received his undergraduate degree from South Dakota State University in 1972.
