  • September 4, 2012: Day 1! Rainiest day of the year. Conveniently, E-legal “Stalkerbook” photos are also taken.
  • Mid-September 2012: E.legal photos are posted and promptly hidden by 2/3 of the class, ruining stalkerbook’s run as the Law Tinder of the late 2000’s.

  • March 31, 2014: Jutta Brunée announced as Interim Dean, ushering an era of a very catchy monthly breakfast alliterations: [see Brunnée’s Brûlée Melelee]
