Oregon Law Alumni Weekend

Coming home. Oregon Law Alumni Weekend.

SAVE THE DATE

September 19-20, 2025

Every September, the Oregon Law community joins together to celebrate the enduring legacy of the law school. You are an important part of this legacy. Come home to Oregon Law—reconnect, reminisce, and be part of what’s next. Families welcome!

Registration link coming soon. We recommend making hotel reservations now, because Eugene will be hopping: the Ducks will be playing the Beavers in football; the UO Alumni Association will be hosting Class Year Reunions; and the Saturday Market will be in full swing. It’s going to be a wonderful weekend!

We are accepting nominations for the 2025 Oregon Law Alumni Awards. For more ways to get involved, check out our alumni page.
