Dean's Message
|
 Dear Alumni and
Friends:
Our Fall Semester has gotten off to a
wonderful start with orientation for our 285 incoming J.D.
students and 21 LL.M. students from 12 different
countries. As you can see from our first new item, we
have reason to be extremely proud of our
students.
You should have
received a printed copy of our most recent Alumni Magazine and
our Speakers & Events brochure with details about the many
exciting and important happenings here at the law
school. We hope you will be able to attend
our lecture series. Please note that we now offer
CLE credit to attendees at no charge for some, if not all, of
our programs.
I look forward to seeing many of
you at the law school or at an alumni event in the near
future.
Sincerely,
Gary R.
Roberts
Dean and Professor of Law
