innovation, engagement, and leadership across
legal and interdisciplinary fields that have
shaped the state and the world around us.
Below

century of legal education.
What
you will see is both deeply familiar and
refreshingly new. We honor our traditions even as
we build new ones every day.

As dean
I attended countless UA class reunions and I
enjoyed every one. Law school is a bonding
experience, with common themes so powerful that
I often left the UA class reunions awash in
nostalgia -- almost as if I had been a member of
each of these classes instead of my own. People
reflect, engage in good natured repartee, call
up favorite and often hilarious law school
anecdotes, honor the memory of those no longer
with them, and leave a bit younger than they
arrived.
-- Dean Emerita Toni

On
Sunday morning, all alumni are invited to join me
and my wife, Chris, at our home for brunch.
We love to have alumni to our home -- Wyatt
(now age 6) serves as greeter, at least until the
ice cream appears, Evie (now 8) likes to help with
name tags, and Owen (almost 12) likes to schmooze.
If she behaves, the brunch will include our newest
family member and one of a host of unofficial
college mascots, Ruby (our golden retriever
puppy).
Open
to all alumni
Date:
Sunday, November 9
Time:
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Location:
3040 E Ina Road, Tucson, AZ 85718
Please RSVP
Here.

The
UA Law Homecoming celebration is a great time to
catch up with classmates and other law graduates
in a relaxed, informal setting. It's fun
to get updates on personal and professional
things, see children (and now grandchildren) and
just enjoy the beautiful facility and
weather. It's something I look forward to
attending each fall.

It is
always terrific to attend the law school
homecoming tailgate party and catch up with
former classmates I haven't seen in a while. I
remember the first tailgate party I attended as
an alum and how impressed I was -- both by the
renovations to the building (especially the
beautiful new lobby and courtyard), and to learn
how many successful, accomplished members of our
legal community are among my fellow alumni.
Every time I attend I'm reminded of how proud I
am to be a
Wildcat!

It's always
fun to see former students and hear about their
adventures, their jobs, their children, their
grown-up lives. Since I'm an alum, it's also a
chance to see my own classmates from the 1970s.
We haven't changed a bit.
Hah!

Be
a part of Arizona Law
Forever |
Every
day I talk with alums who tell me how the College,
its faculty, and their fellow students changed
them.
Now
you can join those who have made their mark on the
College. As part of our campaign for student
scholarships, we are offering alumni the
opportunity to have a ceramic tile permanently
affixed to the College of Law with your personal
message on it.
For
only $250, you can point to your spot every time
you come to campus and take pride in helping
future students. With a wide-array of color and
design options, this is a simple and fun way to
support your law school and make your mark last
forever.
To
purchase a tile now, please email Chris Gast (cgast@email.arizona.edu) or
see our table at the Red and Blue BBQ.
I
remember when we used to have our Homecoming
barbeque on main campus -- we had a very good
place on the mall -- right next to the band. We
could watch the Homecoming Parade go by which was
so much fun; then when we moved to the College of
Law to hold our barbeque -- I liked bands we used
to have. Homecoming is just a real festive happy
time -- people are thinking about all the good
things that happened during their stay at law
school. It is always good to see people who
go way back.

Shafer,
student services associate and a staff member of
Arizona Law for over three decades.

It
takes a while for the next Centennial to roll
around, so let's seize this one. One of our
goals is to capture 100 years of Arizona Law
memories.
During
our Centennial Homecoming, we will be on the
hunt for stories, photos, tchotchkes, keepsakes,
and memories. We will even have a video story
booth at the BBQ for you to share your favorite
stories. We are also using social media to reach
out and collect your pictures and tidbits.
Please pull out those photos and think about
special stories. We want to hear about them.
Stay tuned here and on the College of Law
website throughout the fall for ways to share
them. |

This is a momentous achievement and I wish you all
the best as you move forward in your practice. I
