The Shaikh Ahmad Hassan School of Law (SAHSOL) at LUMS formally launched the LUMS Law Alumni Association on February 25, 2017. The launching ceremony was held in the Asifa-Irfan Moot Court Room in the SAHSOL building, with attendees including law alumni spanning from all batches that have graduated from LUMS, as well as the Law class of 2017.
The event started off with an informal meet and greet session – giving the Law alumni a chance to reconnect with each other and also providing an opportunity to the graduating batch of the current LL.B students to establish a nexus with the Law alumni. In his welcome address Prof. Dr. Martin Lau, Dean of SAHSOL, highlighted the goals and vision of the LUMS School of Law and the important role he envisions the Law School’s alumni to play in their realisation.
Ms Marva Khan, Teaching Fellow at SAHSOL and designated member of faculty for alumni relations, introduced the draft Charter of the LUMS Law Alumni Association. In line with other LUMS alumni associations, the draft Charter establishes the LUMS Law Alumni Association as an independent, self-governing, body and specifies a number of activities which will be carried out by the Association. These include the holding of an annual dinner, career advice to current law students as well as offering continuous professional development and training events to LUMS law alumni and current LL.B students.
Saturday’s launch event concluded with a tour of the newly constructed SAHSOL building followed by a lunch at the Executive Dining Centre at LUMS.
