School of Law Alumni

Western New England University School of Law partners with Discovering Justice for the Mock Trial program, which spans across three months of after school experiential learning. This will prepare Duggan Middle School students to become trial lawyers for a day. With the support of Western New England University law students, the students will tackle age-appropriate legal issues, engage in legal analysis, and ultimately try cases in real courtrooms before federal or state judges and juries made up of community members.
The annual Dean's Tea and Award Reception unites the School of Law community to celebrate student and faculty achievements. Each year, the celebration takes place the week of commencement in the Blake Law Center.
Western New England University School of Law partners with MassMutual Financial Group and the Just The Beginning Foundation, to bring forty high school students from greater Springfield to the Summer Legal Institute. Program activities are designed to motivate and encourage students on a path toward academic and personal success while immersing them in many aspects of the legal and judicial systems.

Welcome School of Law Alumni and Friends

Our 8,000 alumni can be found around the world. They serve in all aspects of the legal profession including the judiciary, the armed forces, government, law enforcement, academia, and business. You will find our alumni employed as solo practitioners, partners in large firms, counsel for major corporations and public agencies. The alumni are dedicated to the School of Law and its current students. More than 300 alumni gave of their time and talent last year in service to the School of Law. That service included director positions on the Alumni Board, panelists for Career Services, coaches for Moot Court, lecturers, class agents and more. Please explore our website for ways to stay in touch and be more involved with the School of Law and the alumni. Connect with us!
