Tip

Other social events include Bar Review, the weekly Law School community gathering at a local bar on Thursday nights. The bar of the week is usually posted in the student computer lab or in weekly SBA events emails. Law School students also tailgate for home football games, and students may take advantage of the "Take a Professor to Lunch" program, in which SBA pays for the professor's lunch.
