Reunion 1963 Class Year Banner

60th Reunion

We look forward to welcoming you back for your 60th Reunion on June 9–10, 2023, to celebrate your anniversary milestone. Join us to reconnect with old friends, hear topical and scholarly discussions led by prominent faculty and classmates, and renew your common bonds as Columbia Law School alumni.


Digital Reunion Class Book

Your Digital Reunion Class Book is a more personal way to connect with your classmates and is viewable after creating your Profile Page. You can share personal and professional updates (and recount memories from your time in law school!); upload photos; browse classmates’ pages and catch up with those who have shared their contact information; and view a map highlighting the cities where your classmates reside.

Get Started
An invitation to add your Profile Page was sent to your preferred email address on file with Columbia Law School. After creating your Profile Page, you can then browse the book.

Resources
Kindly refer to this Information Sheet and brief Video Tutorial, which will assist you in navigating the Book. The Reunion Office, [email protected], is available to serve as a helpful resource to you at any point.

Reunion is a special time for graduates to support Columbia Law School together as a class.

If you are in a position to make a Reunion gift, we hope you will do so in a way that is personally meaningful to you. Participation, in any form, makes all the difference to students, faculty, and the greater Columbia Law School community.
