The UCD Law Alumni Community

Pictured above are Alumni from the BBLS class of 2009 at a reunion in the School of Law.

As the largest law school in the country, and with a history that dates back to 1911, the UCD law alumni network consists of a wide and influential group of individuals within the legal profession, judiciary, politics, the business community, non-governmental organisations and charity sector. To enable our alumni to enjoy social and networking opportunities with their counterparts, we endeavour to build a strong alumni community whilst organising and facilitating events on their behalf, both in Ireland and overseas.  If you are a graduate of UCD law and haven’t as yet signed up to receive our Alumni Newsletter, we invite you to do so now here.

Class Reunion: Friday 24 November 2023  

On 24 November 2023 we will celebrate the Milestone Reunion of the BCL classes of 1983, 1993, 2003 and 2013 plus the BBLS class of 2003 and the BBL class of 2013.  The evening will provide an opportunity for graduates of these years to reunite with classmates, renew old friendships, see how Belfield campus has been transformed in recent years and get a taste of student life today.

Register now to attend the reunion on 24 November at (opens in a new window)this link.

These Milestone Reunions have been a major event in the School calendar since we moved to the state-of-the-art Sutherland building in 2013.  See below links to past alumni reunions to get a flavour of these events (the 2020 and 2021 Reunions were unfortunately cancelled due to the pandemic).
