UPCOMING EVENTS
 

Greetings,


This week we make the Letter of the Law your handy pocket guide to the full lineup of Homecoming and Reunion gatherings taking place between now and the near-certain victory to come Saturday afternoon over Oregon State. 

We are excited to celebrate with all of our Arizona Law alumni, students, staff, friends, and family!

Until the footnotes,
 
Marc
