Alumni, Yale Law School Fund, and Endowment Funds

Alumni
Alumni of Yale Law School play a large role in the greater Law School community. They renew social ties with one another and network with other Yale Law School alumni practitioners. They refresh their knowledge of legal scholarship in different settings and at different times during the year. Graduates gather in New Haven for the annual Alumni Weekend; they attend faculty talks in connection with the Association of American Law Schools, the American Bar Association, and other professional organizations; and they meet in their own localities for a variety of activities and events. The Law School’s Master Calendar notes the frequent alumni events both here and away from New Haven at www.law.yale.edu/calendar. To further communication among members of the Law School community, the Yale Virtual Station (www.aya.yale.edu/vys) allows alumni to have a lifelong e-mail alias address.

A wonderful innovation for the Yale Law School community is the online Alumni Mentoring Network (AMN), which is accessible via the Career Development Office Web site (www.law.yale.edu/cdo). AMN offers both alumni and current law students the opportunity to seek out hundreds of graduates who have offered to provide career-related advice. AMN members can be searched by name, area of expertise, employer type, geographic location, and more. Through the Web site, alumni can now join the network, current AMN members can update their information, and both alumni and students can search for mentors online. For more information about AMN, including password information for searching the Network, please call 203.432.1690 or send an e-mail to ylsalum@pantheon.yale.edu.

All graduates of the Law School are invited to annual Alumni Weekends, which take place at the Law School in the fall for three days of events, including talks, panel discussions, and meals. Current students greet and direct alumni to the various events. Graduates celebrating their reunions (5th, 10th, 15th, etc.) reconnect with classmates at special Saturday reunion dinners in local dining halls and Sunday brunches at the homes of faculty or other alumni. The theme for Alumni Weekend 2002 is “Arts and the Law.” In addition to panel discussions and talks on this theme, the well-known documentary filmmaker Fred Wiseman ’54 will receive the Award of Merit.

The Yale Law School Association consists of all graduates and was founded to strengthen the connection between them and the Law School. The association is headed by an executive committee consisting of approximately 180 alumni. Sixty of these graduates serve for four-year terms and a nominating committee selects twenty new members each year. The committee is diverse in areas of expertise and class years, and its members come from all over the United States and abroad. Meetings take place twice a year at the Law School: in the fall on the Friday of Alumni Weekend and in the spring. In addition to informal discussion about some aspect of the Law School’s curriculum, a panel or speaker introduces the meeting’s topic. Recent executive committee meetings have considered such subjects as the Global Constitutionalism Conference, the World Fellows Program, and the graduate programs. The present officers of the association’s executive committee are: Chairman, Sangwoo Ahn ’63; President, Max Nathan, Jr. ’60; Vice Presidents, Brenda S. Breslauer ’96 M.S.L., Keith P. Ellison ’76, Rosalind S. Fink ’72, Rhoda J. McLean ’83, Arnold M. Zack ’56; Secretary, Frederick M. Danziger ’65; and Treasurer, James D. Miller ’75.

In more than fifteen states and cities across the United States and abroad, Yale Law School local associations provide social, intellectual, and professional opportunities for graduates. Whether it is a wine-tasting in Washington, D.C., a panel on choosing judicial candidates in Chicago, a large group of alumni enjoying fellow graduate John Weidman’s musical Contact in New York City, an informal get-together to greet recent graduates in Boston, or a dinner to greet the dean in Paris, Yale Law School alumni maintain important ties with each other and with their alma mater. For further information, please contact Toni Hahn Davis, Associate Dean, ylsalum@pantheon.yale.edu; 203.432.1690.

Yale Law School Fund

The fund now operates with its own officers and directors, who supervise an organization of class agents and class reunion gift committees throughout the United States. The Yale Law School Fund’s annual receipts have grown from $8,000 in 1949 to more than $12.7 million in 2000–2001.
