Frequently Asked Questions and Other Resources

• Who is Invited to the Fall 2026 Reunion?

  This Reunion will celebrate alumni who graduated in years ending in 1 and 6, as well as emeritus alumni who graduated more than 50 years ago. 

• Are International Alumni Allowed to Attend?

  Yes! We welcome alumni and guests arriving from international locations to attend Reunion

• Are LLM and SJD Recipients Invited to Reunion?

  Yes! LLM and SJD graduates are invited to Reunion for their five-year milestones, just like JD alumni. LLM and SJD graduates are also welcome to attend the Reunion of the 1L class that they started with at Michigan Law, as many SJD and LLM candidates forge strong ties with the JD class that started at the same time.

• When Can I Register for Reunion?

  Registration for Reunion will open in June when the Michigan Athletics football ticket window opens. Please note that we will not offer on-site (walk-in) registration during Reunion. Registration closes on September 8 at 11:59 p.m. (ET).

• How Do I Purchase Football Tickets?

  A link to purchase football tickets will be emailed to Reunion registrants after they have completed their registration. Tickets are limited and will be available on a first come, first served basis while supplies last or until the purchase deadline of July 1. Tickets are $105 each.

  Due to a limited supply of tickets provided to the Law School by Michigan Athletics, alumni celebrating their Reunion can order a maximum of two (2) tickets within the Law School’s block of seats while supplies last; any additional purchases by a single alumni will be reversed and refunded. We will assign seats by class year. While seating is dependent on block allocations, we make every effort to arrange assignments by class.

  Please note that only Reunion attendees who have paid for other Reunion events may purchase football tickets. Your registration fees must be paid in full before Athletics will issue tickets electronically.

• What Time is Kickoff for the Football Game?

  The Big Ten has not yet announced the time of the game against Iowa on September 26, 2026. We will share this information with attendees as soon as it is available. 

• Will Photos Be Taken at Reunion?

  We will take class photos at the class dinners on Friday evening. A Law School photographer also will be taking candid photos at a selection of other events over the course of the weekend. Attendance at Reunion is an acknowledgement that your image and/or images of your guest(s) may be used in future Law School communications (print, digital, and/or on our website). Should you wish to opt out of photographs or not have your children photographed, please alert the photographer and/or Law School staff. 

• Are Children 12 and Under Allowed to Attend?

  Yes! We encourage alumni to bring their families to Reunion.

• Will There be Activities for Children 12 and Under?

  While our Reunions primarily feature social events, intellectual programming, and experiences that appeal to adults, we welcome children of alumni to attend all programs. Please check the schedule for more information.

• Will Childcare Resources Be Available?

  Michigan Law is not able to provide childcare services or make specific recommendations for providers. There are, however, many reputable third-party childcare services available in the Ann Arbor area.

• What if I Need to Cancel?

  Our cancellation/refund deadline is the same as the registration deadline, which is Tuesday, September 8 at 11:59 p.m. (ET). We will fully refund cancellations before the deadline; if you need to cancel after the deadline, please contact [email protected]. 

• What if the Law School (or University) Has to Cancel the Reunion?

  If the University or the Law School determines that the Reunion must be canceled due to circumstances beyond our control, we will give refunds to all registered guests. All hotel and travel cancellations are the responsibility of the alumni/guest and should be made with the vendor directly. 

• Do I Need to Register for Each Individual Event?

  We require registration for all events with an associated cost to attend. 

• Are Discounts Available?

  Yes! Alumni working in public interest law—this includes government, K–12 and higher education, and other nonprofit organizations—as well members of the class of 2021 and emeritus alumni, get 25 percent off of all paid Reunion events. Please note that these discounts do not apply to football tickets. Discounts will be automatically applied during the registration process. Questions? Please contact the events line at 734.615.4535 or via email at [email protected]

• What goes into a Reunion event registration fee? Are registration fees subsidized by the Law School?

  We charge registration fees for events that include food and beverage. In order to produce these events, the Law School incurs rental fees for off-Quad venues and equipment (tables, chairs, linens), server gratuity; and of course the cost of the food and beverage.  All of these costs contribute to the total per-person registration fee.

  To help make these events more affordable for alumni, the Law School generally subsidizes 25-30% of the actual costs. The registration fee that alumni pay does not cover the total cost to produce the event.

• Other Family-friendly Activities

  In addition to the Law School Reunion events, browse this list for other activities to do throughout the weekend, including plenty of family-friendly activities, in Ann Arbor and southeast Michigan.

• Parking and Transportation

  Parking downtown can be challenging during peak periods. However, the hotels provide ample parking. Metered street parking is $2.50/hour, payable with credit card, coin, or by downloading the eparkA2 smartphone app (Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m.–6 p.m.). Most of the street parking surrounding the Law School are now ePark meter spaces. Uber and Lyft also operate in the area.

  For those attending the Saturday tailgate event, there is limited free parking through the end of the game on a first come, first served basis at Venue by 4M for Reunion guests. Further instructions will be provided closer to the weekend.

  The Ann Arbor Transportation Authority, also known as TheRide, operates the public transportation system for the greater Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area, with many routes through campus and by the Law School. Single rides are $1.50, day passes are $3.
