A unique collection of Wabash alumni will gather this weekend for a first time reunion to network and share with students their careers as lawyers. The legal lineup ranges from former President Bill Clinton's attorney David Kendall ’66 to Indiana’s Secretary of State, Solicitor General, law professors, and members of the Board of Trustees.
Wabash graduates who represent sports figures to lawyers who have argued cases before the United States Supreme Court will be on hand to share advice and stories from their careers. The program runs Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. More than 60 alums have registered for the weekend law reunion.

“Jim Dimos took the lead in organizing the event along with Castanias, me, and the other lawyers on the NAWM Board. We're really excited to have a series of presentations planned that we think will be of interest not only to lawyers, but to the entire Wabash community - everything from sports law to arguing in the Supreme Court. This gives us a chance to showcase Wabash lawyer talent. Each lawyer on the schedule is an expert in his field. And most importantly from my point of view as prelaw advisor, it gives us lawyer alumni another chance to educate and network with current students who are considering a career in the law. Wabash at its best is about one generation helping another.”
The lineup would be impressive even if the attorneys weren’t all Wabash graduates. All sessions will be held in Hays 104 beginning at 12:30 Friday.
