Emory Law Alumni Week 2021
Over the years, the Law School Advancement and Alumni Engagement (AAE) office has hosted reunion events during a weekend in April to celebrate the accomplishments of Emory Law alumni and rebuild connections. This weekend, coined Emory Law Alumni Weekend or ELAW, continues to be a gathering for all Emory Law alumni, friends, and families.
With continuing uncertainty concerning large groups (and to remain consistent with University event protocol), Emory Law Alumni Weekend 2021 will be virtual. The silver lining: it’s now Emory Law Alumni Week, April 11-17, 2021! It’s for all alumni, but we’ll have special gatherings for reunion classes reunion classes that end in 0, 1, 5 and 6 and 1 year reunions for the Classes of 2019 and 2020.
We look forward to connecting and celebrating with you this April!
