Today was the last day of classes at the law school, with students, faculty, and staff finishing up what turned out to be a challenging but successful fall semester. Although this semester still looked a little different than years past, I am grateful we had the chance to return to campus and reconnect with each other and the Boyd community. We would not be able to do all we do at Boyd without each of you and your commitment to the law school and each other. As we head into the long holiday weekend, I hope you all have a chance to spend time with friends and family, get some rest, and we’ll see you all back at school soon!
