Wine Mess, the Law School's popular social event, offers students a few non-academic hours near the end of the week. An extensive array of domestic and imported beers, wines and soft drinks are available. The first two drinks are free. Snacks are always on the house, as is the music.
You may not receive any academic credit for attendance, but many alums will remember their Wine Mess afternoons in the Green Lounge as some of their most memorable experiences in law school.
Below is the 2019-2020 Wine Mess schedule. Wine Mess starts at 3:30 PM on Thursdays unless otherwise noted.
