Visit the New Law School Alumni/ae Web Site/Portal
The law school has launched a new Web site/portal as a service to our graduates. It may be accessed through the main alumni/ae page of the NUSL Web site.
The online community offers a place for graduates to network with each other, register for lifetime e-mail address forwarding, an NUSL "yellow pages" section, submit class notes electronically, and to view the events calendar.
Watch for your 7-digit registration code on the mailing label of the next Northeastern Law Magazine.
Graduates Welcome at the Admissions Open House on April 8
The law school is enjoying a strong admissions season, and during the next few months, the school will host several events for admitted students, including our Admitted Student Open House on April 8.
