Dear Classmate:

The Law School has finalized the details of our 20th reunion, which will take place October 21-23. Throughout the Weekend, we will have a chance to catch up over meals, relax in the courtyard, or attend various panels and activities.

You will receive a brochure and an invitation to register via email as soon as registration opens in early August. Meanwhile, you can view developing details at the Alumni Weekend website, www.law.yale.edu/AW2016. We urge you to make travel and lodging arrangements as soon as possible; some of the hotel blocks have already been filled!

Highlights of the Weekend

Panels
Hear from faculty and some top legal minds in a variety of fields during panel discussions that will take place on Friday and Saturday. Topics include:
• To Serve and Protect: New Paradigms in Community Policing
• Climate Change: Are We Now on a Path to Real Decarbonization?
• National Security in a Turbulent World
• Health Law, Policy, Politics, and Progress: What Lies Ahead
• Reproductive Rights, Family, and Faith

All Alumni Meals and Receptions
The All Alumni Reception will take place in the beautiful and newly renovated Sterling Memorial Library nave, followed by dinner on Friday night in the Schwarzman Center (formerly Commons), during which we will be seated by class. On Saturday morning, we can choose to attend either a relaxed continental breakfast or a short mentoring breakfast with current students. Saturday’s All Alumni Luncheon will feature the presentation of the Award of Merit, the school’s highest award, to Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. ’64 of California and Governor Gina Raimondo ’98 of Rhode Island for their outstanding public service.

Class of 1996 Events
On Saturday afternoon, we will have our class photo taken at 3:00 p.m. in the YLS Courtyard. Please arrive five minutes early and look for the Class of 1996 sign to find the rest of our class! After our photo, the Class of 1996 and our families will enjoy a reception for recent graduates in the Courtyard. There will be beer and pretzels for the adults and ice cream and entertainment for the kids. This will be a chance to mix and mingle in a relaxed atmosphere.

On Saturday evening we will have our own formal class reunion reception and dinner at a downtown New Haven location. Our venue will be announced in October, and we will receive detailed information about it in the Registration Room during Alumni Weekend. We are also delighted that Professor Owen Fiss will join us for dinner.

On Sunday morning, there will be a class brunch at the lovely home of Professor Oona Hathaway ’97 and Jacob Hacker—a wonderful informal gathering to conclude the Weekend.

You can always see the most up-to-date list of our class events on our Class of 1996 page on the YLS website by clicking here.

Family-Friendly Activities
Alumni and their children are also invited to participate in the family-friendly activities that will be ongoing throughout the Weekend. More information on the locations of these activities, as well as meal pricing and child care information, will be posted at www.law.yale.edu/AW2016.

Meet Current Students
All alumni are invited to the Diversity Reception on Saturday at 4:30 p.m., at the Schwarzman Center, where alumni who are interested in meeting with students from the Law School’s varied affinity groups can mix and mingle prior to our class reception and dinner. The following groups will be participating: Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, Black Law Student Association, Latino/a Law Students Association, Middle Eastern and North African Law Students’ Association, Native American Law Students Association, OutLaws (the Law School community’s LGBTQ association), and South Asian Law Students Association.
