Reconnect. Celebrate.

Every year, thousands of Harvard Law School alumni return to campus to reconnect with classmates, engage with faculty, and celebrate the lifelong community they joined at HLS.

Whether you’re marking a milestone class reunion or attending one of our alumni affinity celebrations, you’ll find an inspiring weekend of conversation, learning, and shared memories.

Class-Year Reunions

HLS hosts two reunion weekends each year, welcoming alumni back to Cambridge to celebrate milestone anniversaries. 

Spring (April)—Celebrating the Classes of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years.

Fall (October) —Celebrating the Classes of 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70 years.

Affinity Celebrations

Alumni Celebrations bring together communities connected through shared identities and experiences. These volunteer-led gatherings feature engaging conversations, distinguished speakers, networking opportunities, and social events designed to strengthen lifelong connections within the HLS community.

“Going to HLS reunions is catching up with old lifelong friends and making brand-new lifelong friends who I somehow missed meeting during law school. Reunions are a highlight reel of all the best parts of law school condensed into an incredible weekend: challenging intellectual conversations that redefine how we should think about the law; reminiscing; and joyful reuniting with classmates.”
