Reunions

Return to campus and make new memories in the place where you launched your life in the law. Reunions are an opportunity to see old friends, create new connections, and learn about the many new programs and initiatives taking place at your alma mater. Harvard Law School holds two class-year reunion celebrations every year:

Spring—In April, we invite those alumni celebrating their 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, and 30th Reunion.

Fall—In October, we invite all those celebrating their 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, 55th, 60th, 65th and 70th Reunion.

Celebrations

Harvard Law School Celebrations provide a unique chance for alumni to return to campus and forge meaningful connections with fellow peers who share a common bond. These vibrant events, fueled by dedicated volunteers, offer a rich blend of intellectual programming, captivating speakers, social interactions, and a myriad of other engaging activities.

Harvard Law School Rappaport Forum

Established by the Phyllis & Jerome Lyle Rappaport Foundation in 2020, the series promotes and models rigorous, open, and respectful discussion of vital issues facing our community, our nation, and our world.
