Family Day is always a highlight of the Fall semester of each new academic year, as we offer a special glimpse into a day in the life of students at the Law School. This year, Family Day is Sunday, September 21, 2014, from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. It is an opportunity for all students to share the Law School experience with their families and friends. Students and their invited guests will be offered the chance to take classes, tour the Law School facilities and enjoy a “Family Picnic” lunch. – Attire is casual.
