Your legal alma mater is feeling the pinch.
Due to shrinking state and university budgets, we have decided, reluctantly, to cancel the KU Law Fall Reunion for the classes of 1968, 1978, 1983 and 1988. The event had been scheduled for Oct. 4, 2008. We do not anticipate this being a permanent reality, and we hope to reinstitute reunions in upcoming years.

Each fall first year law students participate in the Barber Emerson Bluebook Relays. The competition, sponsored by a Lawrence law firm, tests legal research skills learned in the lawyering program. Working in teams, students locate references in the library and write the citation in correct Bluebook format. The point system rewards speed, accuracy and citation skills. There is a cash prize for the winning team but the big reward is the fun that comes from putting competition in perspective.
