* Unless so noted on the Law School Academic Calendar, classes will be held on these dates. However, as the Diversity Plan for the Law School states, members of the Law School community are asked to pause and reflect before scheduling events on these dates, as well as on the Sabbath days for Christianity (Sunday) and Judaism (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown).
