Dear Friends,

Summer has flown by at Boalt, punctuated by inspiring events, such as the Death Penalty Clinic's celebration of the release of Walter Rhone (read more below), and the arrival of several new faculty and staff members. The fall semester brings an infusion of 270 eager 1Ls, the Alumni Weekend on September 29, and—of course—football! Boalt alumni group tickets are once again available. We hope you’re looking forward to the new academic year as much as we are!

We are also happy to announce what we hope will become a Boalt tradition: the African-American Alumni Reunion Weekend on April 4-5, 2008. Please save the date and check out the reunion page for more information.
