The Founding Class of the Antioch School of Law will gather in Washington, DC to renew old friendships, celebrate 50 years of accomplishments and project the spirit that guided the Law School into the future.
Events begin Friday evening with a meetup and food at the National Press Club, near the White House and the Metro, beginning at 5:30 pm. This is an informal gathering; you can come and leave as it suits.
On Saturday doors open for the reunion at the University of the District of Columbia Student Center (4200 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC 20008) at 9:00 am. Coffee, juice and pastries will be served.
