We are delighted to welcome the Class of 2026 and our returning students to SMU Dedman School of Law. Classes are well underway, and you can feel the excitement of the new year.
The Class of 2026 comprises a remarkable, diverse group of students with stellar academic backgrounds and real world experiences. They are engineers, teachers, accountants, military personnel, consultants, paralegals, and much more – all poised to reshape our world. They represent 74 different colleges/universities and, as you can see below, their credentials are quite impressive. In fact, this is the highest credentialed class in the law school’s history. We are incredibly proud of our new students and are excited to introduce them to the legal community.
We would love to see you this fall at the Family Weekend and Homecoming/Reunion tailgates. We also hope that you can return to the law school for the Alumni Night in the Law Quad on Friday, October 27, where we will hold the 3s and 8s reunions at the same time. There will be law school tours, music, food, and drinks. This is a perfect opportunity to reunite with old friends and meet new ones.
We will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of SMU Dedman Law’s Clinical Program with a special lunchtime speaker, Professor Deborah Archer, on October 5th. Deborah Archer is Associate Dean for Experiential Education and Clinical Programs and Professor of Clinical Law at New York University School of Law. There are many more Mustang Bar alumni events listed in the newsletter, so be sure to register and save the dates to join us!
Thank you for your support to help us become one of the leading law schools in the world. We are well positioned to continue our upward trajectory in the coming years. We truly appreciate all you do for SMU Dedman Law.
