Day One, Winter Quarter at UW Law!
Today kicked off winter quarter in the halls and classrooms of William H. Gates Hall. From diving into Constitutional Law II with Professor from Practice Jeff Feldman, to unpacking Property Law with Professors Monte Mills and Karen Boxx, it’s a strong start to the quarter with new notes, familiar faces, and the hum of ideas.
Here’s to another season of learning, questioning, and growing at UW Law.
