If you were in Ann Arbor for our historic weekend, you know what we mean. From the opening reception through the Sunday brunch, hundreds of alumni and guests enjoyed four days crammed with memorable moments. It all took place under four perfect, sun-drenched September days. Highlights:
| |
- The Conversation with the Chief Justice in Hill Auditorium, which many called one of the best events ever to take place on the University campus. View
- The groundbreaking for the Law School's new academic building and Commons, where attendees in yellow "hardhats" heard featured speakers John G. Roberts, Jr., the Chief Justice of the United States, and University President Mary Sue Coleman. Watch a video of the ceremony.
- The Worldwide Reunion and Dinner at the beautiful University of Michigan Museum of Art, featuring witty remarks by Bruno Simma, Judge at the International Court of Justice, and a deeply moving toast by Eric Stein, '42, the Hessel E. Yntema Emeritus Professor of Law.
- The Gala Reception and Dinner, with Michigan Law alumni in all five dining rooms of the Michigan League, three distinguished alumni speakers, and a surprise appearance by the University of Michigan Men’s Glee Club—also celebrating its 150th year!
- An in-depth panel discussion featuring five Michigan Law deans discussing their job, their challenges and their dreams for the Law School.
- Plus panel discussions, lunch, dinners, a festive tailgate and reunions for the classes of 1949, 1954, and 1959.

And oh yes: there was the Wolverines' 38-34 upset of visiting Notre Dame, which guaranteed a truly storybook weekend.
In between, there were countless Michigan moments: old friends reconnecting, new friendships struck up, laughs, cheers, and a whole lot of great food.
