The Law School community gathered on May 1-3 to celebrate Reunion Weekend for the classes of 1966, 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021. 

The fun-filled weekend offered numerous opportunities to reconnect with classmates, network with current students and faculty, and participate in engaging discussions around legal scholarship and contemporary issues.

This year’s Reunion featured a special portrait unveiling ceremony for Professor Geoffrey R. Stone, ’71, in honor of his wide-ranging contributions as a scholar and academic leader over the last five decades. Alumni also enjoyed faculty masterclasses on “The Federalist Papers” and “Wine and the Law” as well as a faculty panel on “The Rule of Law.” 

As always, the weekend featured annual favorites such as the Law School Luncheon, Family Friday, Alumni Wine Mess, and Class Dinners.

In addition, alumni had the opportunity to participate in several different University-wide Reunion events, including a conversation between UChicago President Paul Alivisatos and University Trustee Rebecca Jarvis, who discussed the University’s ambitions for the future in a talk titled “Designing the Future of Knowledge.”
