If you've studied with us over the past decade, then you've had the pleasure to know Jenny Hutcherson and call her a friend. On Monday, we will say goodbye to Jenny as she moves on to her next adventure. We are very sad to see her leave, but know that her next adventure will be amazing and that the students she mentors will be very lucky to have her! If you have fond memories of your time here at WFU Law with Jenny, please share them here and help us to wish her well!

Here's a look at what's happening at Wake Forest Law this month...

With the semester underway and classes begun, we want to welcome our newest entering class of LLM, SJD and Visiting Researcher students. Haling from Georgia, Saudi Arabia, China, Nigeria, Italy, and Japan, our new students are now a welcome part of the Wake Forest Law family!

As we close out 2021, we look back on a year of challenges and new adventures. We welcomed our first-ever Spring start LL.M. class in January, and then said goodbye to them in December. For the first time, our students enjoyed a baseball game with the Dash, and later in the year we brought back the much-loved tradition of the Thanksgiving potluck. There were virtual dissertation defenses, socially distanced graduation ceremonies, and a specially prepared (for safety!) Diwali celebration. And through all of it our students were resilient, determined, brave, and an absolute joy to call a part of the Wake Forest Law Family. So to our students, our cherished alumni, family and friends around the world, Happy New Year!

To our dear friends and family, near and far, we wish you the very best in this holiday season.

Time flies when you're having fun! These wonderful LLM students will be graduating soon, and as much as we'll miss them, we're so excited to see what amazing things they will do in the future!

We are thankful for our friends around the world. We are grateful for those that have left their homes and joined us for a brief time, becoming a part of our family forever.

We were thrilled to bring back the annual International Thanksgiving Potluck dinner last night. We enjoyed so, so much food from around the world. More importantly, we got to spend time with our Wake Law family, sharing conversation, laughter, and the joy of being together.
