Next week the law school will hold its annual Fall Reunion Gala and this year's event promises to be bigger and better than ever. Hundreds have registered already (click here to see who's coming), and I look forward to seeing many of you there.
The reunion coincides with the university's Fall Fest weekend Oct. 22–24 for all alumni and families featuring a host of events, from athletic events to luncheons to lectures. As part of the weekend's activities, I will give a Fall Fest Community Lecture titled "Educating With a Global Perspective: Multimedia Notes from the Field" on Saturday. I invite you to join me for coffee and conversation, and through photos, videos, blogs, and tweets, to hear from my perspective about how the law school and the university are preparing our students to be global citizens for their own well being and hopefully to promote the common good.
As you'll see in this edition of the e-newsletter, there's a lot happening at the law school—from academic symposia, panel discussions, and debates to the publication of a critical report on Haiti and national recognition of our faculty and programs. I hope you find the vibrancy of our community inspiring. We could not do it without your help. Please stay in touch.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. Brand
