Welcome to the Penn Law Alumni Site

ALUMNI PROGRAMS

Beyond the superior legal education and unprecedented cross disciplinary opportunities, one word consistently identified with Penn Law over the years is community – that supportive, collegial and encouraging environment that exists on the campus. The Law School wants to ensure that this communal relationship extends into the Alumni population with each new class of graduates.

Penn Law alumni are members of a small but global club of almost 12,500 graduates representing 49 states (no alumni in North Dakota yet!), 63 countries along with Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the District of Columbia. With professional specialties ranging from Academia to Zoning, the Penn Law Network is a powerful community of litigators and pro bono advocates, deal-makers and business leaders, teachers and judges, executives and legislators and so much more. They head multinational companies and health care institutions, advise government officials and forge market-changing mergers. Building on an impressive foundation of tradition and academic excellence, the Law School has blossomed in recent years as a result of unprecedented cross disciplinary educational opportunities. Alumni provide critical support and guidance, allowing Penn Law to remain at the forefront of legal education.

Alumni are the school’s greatest resource and that makes their connection with Penn Law critical to the School’s success as well as to them.

OUR GOAL

The goal of the Alumni Relations office is to provide for lifelong relationships between the Law School and its alumni, parents, students and friends. Alumni can build relationships, support and guide current students and fellow alumni, or engage with the wider Penn Law community. A sampling of opportunities include the on-going events which range from reunions and alumni club programs to academic programs such as the Endowed Lecture Series with distinguished jurists and scholars among other notables.

EXPLORE and PARTICIPATE

Alumni are encouraged to be involved, and Penn Law makes that easy with a full menu of activities...

Volunteer leadership? Look to the Law Alumni Society, Alumni Clubs or Reunion Class committees.
Interacting with current students important? Done individually or in groups by sharing professional expertise through informal meetings, lunches or phone calls with students.
The Alumni Network channels Alumni interests through the Alumni Office, Career Planning & Professionalism, Admissions, the Clinical Programs, the Legal Writing Program, and the Public Interest Center to find the right fit for Alumni and available programs.

These and many other programs would welcome alumni participation!

LAW ALUMNI SOCIETY

All Penn Law alumni are members of the Law Alumni Society, which provides outreach, service and recognition to and for the Law School’s valued graduates. The LAS Board of Managers serves as the principal group representing alumni and coordinates activities focused on helping our alumni and aiding the Law School in achieving its mission. The Board meets three times each year on campus, ensuring a full opportunity for the managers to immerse themselves in the life of the Law School and provide volunteer service to the Law School through one of five committees. Club leaders are also members of the Board, spreading their reach from Boston to Beijing.

KEEP IN TOUCH AND RETURN TO CAMPUS
