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.
