Alumni Associations

A tradition of Excellence since 1970

It is my honor and privilege to welcome you to the Law Development Centre Alumni Association. The spirit of our tradition lies in the hearts and minds of our community members, who are dedicated to the professional advancement and well-being of our students and alumni, and who strive to “Champion What Matters”; locally, nationally, and internationally.

We are a community of accomplished faculty, engaged administrators, exceptional students, and extraordinary alumni leaders who continue our 50 year-long tradition of excellence in legal education, skill-based teaching and student-centered learning.

Our nearly 8,000 alumni have made extraordinary achievements in all areas of the legal profession be it private practice, business and consulting, advisory as well as government service, public interest litigation, academia, and humanitarian work around the world.

As Alumni Relations Officer of the Law Development Centre Alumni Association, I am committed to the advancement of our tradition of excellence. We celebrate the identity, interests, diverse career, and location of more than our 8,000 alumni worldwide.

It is my pleasure to invite you to our three Campuses so that you get to experience for yourself the exceptional community we have evolved into, and the growth we have achieved so far.

Sincerely,
Robert Mackay,
Alumni Relations Officer
