Notre Dame Lawyers Connect | June 2017

Note from your Director

Dear Notre Dame Lawyers,

Our Notre Dame Lawyer Committees around the country are busy this summer hosting events for our lawyers to network with other alumni, as well as meet NDLS students working in their markets for the summer. The following cities have already hosted events this summer: Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, New York, Phoenix, and San Diego. Both Tampa Bay and Portland are hosting their inaugural ND Lawyer Committee events this month. Please visit our website to see upcoming events and photos from prior events. Speaking of upcoming events, registration for the inaugural Law Homecoming Weekend will open next month!

Enjoy the 4th of July weekend!
