Each spring UW Law students, faculty and alumni from across the country gather for the Legal Educational Opportunities (LEO) Banquet. An annual Law School favorite, the event celebrates and reaffirms our commitment to maintaining one of the most interesting and dynamic learning environments in the country.
The LEO Program was established in 1967 with it's stated purpose being to recruit and retain students with a diversity of identities, backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives and work to ensure their success. The program provides an informal academic and social support network for its students while they are in law school, and beyond.
