Annual Banquet

The Minnesota Law Review Annual Banquet celebrates the hard work of Editors and Staffers to publish the Minnesota Law Review and presents an opportunity for current members to engage with MLR alumni and others in the community.

This year, Volume 107 is reviving the Annual Banquet, and we are excited to celebrate with everyone in-person for the first time since 2019. A link to RSVP will be available soon. Please share your information with us here if you would like us to email you directly when that becomes available.

Distinguished Alumni Awards

Minnesota Law Review Volume 107 is now accepting nominations for the 2022–2023 Distinguished Alumni Awards to be presented at the Law Review Annual Banquet. We look forward to celebrating the accomplishments of fellow Law Review members together at our Annual Banquet.

Created by the Volume 89 Board of Editors, the Distinguished Alumni Awards are granted each year by the current Board of Editors at the annual spring banquet. We ask Law Review alumni to nominate other alumni who have made extraordinary contributions to the profession and to society. Please tell us about colleagues who should be considered for an award this year by nominating them via this form or via email at mnlawrev@umn.edu.
