I want very much to have a coffee with the staff at least once a semester. I have no agenda, just a chance to get together and talk. Our first coffee will be on Monday, Nov. 6, from 3:30-4:30 pm in the Warren Room.
I very much look forward to it!
Warm regards,
Erwin

Please join us for a memorial celebration honoring the life and legacy of esteemed Berkeley Law Professor and former Dean Herma Hill Kay (1934-2017) on Friday, October 6 at the International House, 2299 Piedmont Avenue (just across from Boalt). The second female faculty member and first female dean of Berkeley Law, Herma was an iconic pioneer among women in the law. A leading figure in family law, conflict of laws, and sex-based discrimination, she was also a mentor to many generations of faculty, students, and alumni. Join us in commemorating her enormous contributions to the law, our institution, and the world. Immediately following the memorial, all alumni are invited to join us for the welcome BBQ for Alumni Reunion Weekend 2017 on the law school’s roof terrace. If you are interested in attending, but have not already registered for Alumni Weekend, please register for the BBQ or full program at law.berkeley.edu/reunion2017.
Join us on Thursdays on the west side of the building (by the picnic benches) at 12:10-1:00 pm for the Berkeley Law Community Walk. It’s weekly, free, and fun! On July 20, the following folks wandered the campus for about 45-minutes: Richard Fisk, Magdalene King’ori-Brewer, Annabelle Gonzales, Barbara Karvelot, and Sue Schechter. For information or encouragement, please contact Barbara Karvelot.
