Professor Randal Picker’s summer antitrust seminar put 24 alumni of different ages and expertise in one virtual classroom. Together they created a vibrant intellectual community.

It was a summer evening and Professor Randal C. Picker, ’85, was presiding over an expansive 95-minute Zoom debate about antitrust policy, the fourth session in a six-week seminar held exclusively for Law School alumni.

After five and a half years at a big firm that she had joined right after graduating from the Law School, Sheila Kadagathur, ’05, did some soul-searching.

Jessica A. Hough, ’97, entered the University of Texas at Austin as an accounting major, initially thinking she would focus on tax. She even sat for the CPA exam. But a senior-year internship made her rethink her plans. “I liked tax, but I didn’t like the compliance aspect of it and doing tax returns,” she said.

This fall, the launch of a new initiative emphasizes the promise of connection, support, and shared success for every student at UChicago Law.

For generations, the University of Chicago Law School has stood out for its rigorous academics, intellectual vibrancy, and commitment to fostering dialogue on tough legal issues. But as Dean of Students Brandi Welch knows, this intellectual paradise can also be intimidating—especially for first-year students.
