The anniversary gala will be the culminating celebration of the year-long commemoration of the 140th Anniversary of the founding of Howard University School of Law. Hosted by Dean Kurt L. Schmoke and invited prominent Chairpersons, the evening will bring together over 1000 alumni, friends, organizations, corporations and law firms from across the country for an evening of dinner and dancing to mark a new chapter in the history of Howard Law. The atmosphere of elegance combined with the joviality of the evening, will make the 140th Anniversary Gala a must-attend event.
