UW Law is thrilled to welcome our newest Law Dawgs this fall! On Friday we hosted an Admitted Student Reception, inviting 216 incoming J.D. students and 128 incoming students across all our graduate programs to connect with each other and with law faculty and staff inside William H. Gates Hall. It was great welcoming our new community members before classes begin in September!
