Bewitching Parties Preceed Cramming for Finals Twice a year the Student Bar Association sponsors law school parties at Fiesta Gardens. The spring party comes during law-seek and the fall drunk comes during the week of Halloween. In keeping with the bewitching spirit, the drunk transforms students into goblins and gremlins. This frenzied partying is a part of the last big blast before Finals. RIGHT: Only Viking size drinks befit this Nordic couple.

The Sunflower Ceremony Is a Family Affair The Sunflower Ceremonies are small friendly gatherings — a time to meet friends’ families and spouses and a time to say good-bye to friends and colleagues. Although law school is a highly competitive environment, most students leave with a sense of regret and a little apprehension over the imminent bar exam and a new, highly competitive working environment. Most socializing comes at the cookie and punch reception afterwards, which the faculty wives help organize. There are a few tears, but also many smiles, especially from proud parents. No matter what the grade average or the job waiting, these graduates have survived three arduous years and have gained a new understanding of the way our system of justice works.
