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.

Alumni/ae Survey

We have had a great response to our alumni/ae survey thus far. If you have not already completed the alumni/ae survey that was mailed to you, you may complete it online at www.slaw.neu.edu/alumni.

We are very interested in your feedback about the school and how we can better serve you. Please take a few moments to complete the survey.
