The Yale Law School Class of 1956 cordially invites members of the class and their guests to attend a very special gathering in Washington, DC, on Friday, June 6th and Saturday, June 7th.

The only events that have a fee associated with them are the Friday dinner, Saturday lunch, and Saturday dinner. Everyone will simply pay individually at these meals, based on what they order. Although there is no fee to register, we do need everyone who can attend to pre-register, so that we can make all the necessary reservations, as well as let our tour guides know how many people will be participating. Contact the YLS Alumni Affairs Office for a copy of the registration form: phone (203) 432-1690 or email alumni.law@yale.edu.
While we hope you can attend all the events planned, you can sign up for whichever individual events you can attend. The deadline to register is Monday, April 21st. If you and your guest sign up to attend the White House tour, the Alumni Affairs Office will contact you to obtain Social Security Number(s) and Date(s) of Birth for background checks.
