Reunions
Homecoming Weekend is October 2-3, 2026!
Homecoming is one of Colorado Law's most treasured traditions, bringing alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends together to celebrate our Law Buff community. Reconnect with the people, memories, and traditions that made your Colorado Law experience unforgettable at one—or all—of this year's Homecoming events, October 2–3, 2026.
This year's Homecoming Weekend includes a special ethics CLE on the Rooftop Terrace at Folsom Field, followed by a Law Buffs Tailgate BBQ before the Buffs take on Texas Tech. It's the first time Colorado Law has hosted the Homecoming tailgate at Folsom, and we hope many of you will join in the fun. Click here to learn more about the Homecoming activities.
The link to register for Homecoming was emailed to alumni. If you cannot find the original email invitation, please contact lawevents@colorado.edu.
In 2026, we celebrate ten classes ending in "1" and "6". You can find more information about your class reunions below as well as the Digital Reunion Memory Books.
Your memory book is linked below. It's a fun and fast way to connect with classmates and learn what they have been up to since graduation. In addition, you can search for hobbies and interests you share with other classmates and view a map highlighting your classmates' current locations. If you need help, please email lawalumni@colorado.edu.

Hi Class of 2001,
Twenty-five years ago, we left Boulder with Colorado Law degrees, ambitious plans, and more than a few strong opinions. Since then, classmates have built remarkable careers in law, business, government, public service, and advocacy. Now it's time to come back together.
We hope you'll join us for the 25-Year Reunion of the Class of 2001 at Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck in downtown Denver. It is crucial that you register for the reunion at this link. You will not be able to pass security if your name is not on the list. Please RSVP by no later than NOON on Tuesday, September 29!
A huge thank you to reunion chair Aaron Hyatt and committee members Ericka Englert, Ryan Haygood, Marisa Hudson-Arney, Eric Rothaus, and Joi Williams for helping bring our class together. We'll gather for an evening of conversation, light hors d'oeuvres, and reconnecting with classmates who shared an important chapter of our lives. We're also excited to share that a generous classmate has pledged a $5,000 matching gift for the J.J. Witt Scholarship. We hope you'll consider making a gift and helping us meet the match by clicking HERE and enter J.J. Witt (scholarship will pop up).
Homecoming! Saturday, October 3, 2:00 pm
While you're planning your visit, we hope you'll also join us for Colorado Law Homecoming in Boulder on Saturday, October 3. The afternoon kicks off at 2:00 p.m. with the free Ethics CLE, Who Gets to Live Forever?, featuring Professor Govind Persad, one of the country's leading voices in bioethics and health law, and Marco Chayet ('97), one of the nation's most respected elder law attorneys. Together, they'll explore some of the most fascinating legal and ethical questions surrounding aging, longevity, capacity, and the future of medicine.
The CLE will be held in a beautiful event space atop Folsom Field that opens directly onto the Rooftop Terrace, where the Law Buffs Homecoming Tailgate BBQ follows immediately afterward. It's the first time Colorado Law has ever hosted its Homecoming tailgate at Folsom Field, and the views of the Flatirons, campus, and stadium are spectacular.
At 5:30 p.m., the Buffs take on Texas Tech.
You do not need a football ticket to attend the CLE or rooftop tailgate, but you do need to register through the Homecoming website so your name is on the guest list and you can access the event space. If you catch a sudden case of Buff fever and decide you'd like to attend the game, find Laura Dean from the Advancement team. She can't make any promises, but she may be able to help determine whether any additional tickets are available.
And if you don't have a football ticket, you'll need to head out as kickoff approaches. When Ralphie starts her run, that's your cue to run too. Consider it one final assignment from Colorado Law. 😉
We're also proud to spotlight reunion committee member Ryan Haygood, who recently became President and CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center. What an extraordinary accomplishment for one of our classmates and reunion volunteers. While his new responsibilities may make it difficult to join us in person, we're hopeful he may be able to pop in virtually and say hello.
While you're here in BrightCrowd, please take a few minutes to add a page to our private reunion memory book, accessible only to members of the Class of 2001. Share a photo, life update, career milestone, or favorite Colorado Law memory. We'd love to hear what you've been up to over the past 25 years. Bonus points for photos featuring frosted tips, tiny sunglasses, chunky belts, questionable early-2000s fashion choices, or any other evidence that the year 2001 happened to all of us.
A Homecoming & Reunion postcard was recently mailed to all mailable addresses. If you didn't receive yours, please contact laura.dean-1@colorado.edu. And while you're at it, please take a moment to update your contact information with Colorado Law at: https://www.colorado.edu/alumni/connect/update-your-information
We'd love to see you in Denver, Boulder, or both.
Warmly,
Aaron Hyatt and the Class of 2001 Reunion Committee
Aaron Hyatt • Ericka Englert • Ryan Haygood • Marisa Hudson-Arney • Eric Rothaus • Joi Williams
P.S. If you're in touch with classmates who may not have heard about the reunion yet, please help spread the word. We'd love to bring as many members of the Class of 2001 back together as possible.
Dear Colorado Law Class of 1996,

Dear Class of 1991,
Thirty-five years. It seems impossible that it's been that long since we walked the halls of Colorado Law together, shared late nights preparing for exams, celebrated victories, and forged friendships that have lasted a lifetime.
As we prepare for our 35th Reunion during Colorado Law's Homecoming Weekend, I hope you'll take a moment to add your story, photos, and memories to this BrightCrowd book. Whether you've remained closely connected with classmates or haven't been back to Boulder in years, this is a chance to reconnect and celebrate the remarkable paths we've all taken since 1991.
One of the things that makes me especially proud of our class is the legacy we've created through the Class of 1991 Endowed Scholarship Fund. Over the years, classmates have come together to build a lasting source of support for future Colorado Law students, helping ensure that talented individuals can pursue a legal education regardless of financial circumstances. Our reunion is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate not only where our own journeys have taken us, but also the impact our class continues to have on generations of students who follow in our footsteps.
This year's reunion weekend promises to be especially memorable as we celebrate alongside CU's 150th Homecoming.
Date: Friday, Oct 2
Time: 6-8 pm (exact time TBD)
Location: Rio Grande, 1101 Walnut St, Boulder, CO 80302
Price: $100 per person
I hope you'll use this BrightCrowd book to share an update and help us reconnect before October. Tell us about your family, career, travels, community work, or anything else you'd like classmates to know. The stories we share here will help make our reunion even more meaningful.
I can't wait to see everyone back in Boulder and celebrate the friendships, memories, and legacy of the Colorado Law Class of 1991.

Hi classmates!
As everyone continuously wants to remind us... we graduated from Colorado Law 40 years ago. (Yikes!)
We hope you'll join us for our Class of 1986 reunion gathering on Saturday, October 3, at 7:00 p.m. at Avanti (1401 Pearl Street in Boulder). No registration fee, no speeches, no agenda... just classmates, conversation, food, and drinks.
A Homecoming & Reunion postcard was mailed last week to all mailable addresses. If you didn't receive one, please review this Homecoming/reunion website for details and update your contact information with Colorado Law while you're there: https://www.colorado.edu/alumni/connect/update-your-information
While you're in Boulder, consider making a day of it.
Homecoming kicks off at 2:00 p.m. with the free Ethics CLE, Who Gets to Live Forever?, featuring Professor Govind Persad and elder law expert Marco Chayet. The program will be held in a beautiful event space atop Folsom Field that opens directly onto the Rooftop Terrace, with spectacular views of the Flatirons, campus, and stadium.
Following the CLE, join fellow alumni for the Law Buffs Tailgate BBQ on the Rooftop Terrace, then cheer on the Buffs as they take on Texas Tech at 5:30 p.m.
You do not need a football ticket to attend the CLE or rooftop tailgate, but you do need to register so your name is on the guest list. Those with game tickets can head to their seats as Ralphie runs. Those without tickets will need to head out before kickoff. Consider it your chance to channel Ralphie and make a graceful sprint for the exit! ;)
If you decide at the last minute that you can't miss the game, check with the Advancement team to see whether any additional tickets might be available.
Best of all, this is the first time ever Colorado Law has hosted its Homecoming tailgate at Folsom Field. It's not every day you get to debate immortality, enjoy one of the best views in Boulder, reconnect with classmates, and cap it all off with Colorado football!
A 40-Year reunion is more than an anniversary. It's a chance to reconnect with the people who witnessed the start of your Colorado Law story and celebrate the friendships that still bring us together after all these years.
We'd love to see you there.
One more thing: while you're browsing BrightCrowd, please add a page to our reunion memory book if you haven't already done so. Share a photo, a life update, or a favorite Colorado Law memory. Think of it as show-and-tell for lawyers. Bonus points for photos featuring impressive hair, questionable fashion choices, or evidence that any of us once looked younger than we do today.
Warmly,
Don Quick and the Class of 1986 Reunion Committee
Keith Tooley • Kerrie Boese • Dave Brennan • Adam Gollin • Cheryl Hara • Marci Rivera • Stacy Worthington
P.S. If you're in touch with classmates who may not have heard about the reunion yet, please help spread the word. We'd love to see as many members of the Class of 1986 as possible back in Boulder.

Dear Classmates,
It's hard to believe that 50 years have passed since we graduated from Colorado Law. We hope you'll join us this fall as we celebrate this milestone, reconnect with old friends, share memories, and catch up on the journeys that have taken us far beyond Boulder.
Class of 1976 50-Year Reunion
Date: Friday, October 2, 2026
Time: 5:30–8:00 p.m.
Location: The Academy at Mapleton Hill, 2435 4th Street, Boulder, CO 80304
Cost: $50 per person
Register: REGISTER HERE!
The evening will feature heavy appetizers, an open bar and other beverages, and plenty of time to visit with classmates. We will be sharing The Academy with the Class of 1981, but our class will have its own dedicated gathering space, with plenty of opportunities to reconnect with your classmates and mingle with other Colorado Law alumni if you'd like.
We are also hoping to create a slideshow for the reunion featuring photos from your time at Colorado Law and the years that followed. If you have law school photos, reunion pictures, family snapshots, travel photos, or other memorable images you'd be willing to share, please send them to Laura Dean.
Earlier that day, we invite you to attend the Golden Buffaloes Luncheon from 12:00 – 1:30 pm at the Wolf Law Building, a special gathering for Colorado Law alumni who graduated 50 or more years ago. Recently retired Professor Mark Loewenstein will present The Law School You Knew vs. the Law School Today, reflecting on what has changed, and what has endured, over the past five decades. His remarks will explore the evolution of the legal profession, legal education, technology, and society, while inviting you to reflect on your own Colorado Law experience.
As we celebrate our 50-year reunion, we also have the opportunity to leave a lasting legacy for future Colorado Law students. Our Class of 1976 Scholarship Fund has grown to nearly $90,000, a wonderful testament to the generosity of our classmates. In honor of this milestone reunion, we hope you will consider making a gift to the scholarship fund and help support future generations of Colorado Law students.
While you're here in BrightCrowd, please take a few minutes to add a page to our (private) reunion memory book. Share a photo, life update, or favorite Colorado Law memory. It's a fun way to reconnect before October.
We can't wait to see you back in Boulder!
We encourage you to visit our class BrightCrowd page and update your profile. It's a great way to reconnect before the reunion, share photos and memories, and see what classmates have been up to over the past 50 years.
Help us find lost classmates!
If you know where any of these classmates are, please email laura.dean-1@colorado.edu with their email address or ask them to update their contact information at https://www.colorado.edu/alumni/connect/update-your-information.
