Tony Amoud (LLB '09), President of the Dalhousie Law Alumni Association was the MC. The event began with Schulich Law Dean, Sarah Harding, welcoming alumni to the event and providing some law school updates.

Schulich Law’s alumni awards were then presented to this year’s recipients. The Honourable Don Oliver (LLB '64, LLD '03) received the Schulich School of Law’s 2023 Weldon Award for Unselfish Public Service. 

Six alum were also inducted into the Bertha Wilson Honour Society - Robbie MacKeigan, K.C. (LLB ’69), The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, MP, K.C. (LLB ’90), The Honourable Linda Oland (LLB ’76), Madeleine Schwarz (LLB ’94), Drew White, K.C. (LLB ’88) and Peter Zed, K.C. (LLB ’80).

The evening was capped off by a message from Danielle Bailey-Heelan, President of the Dalhousie Law Students’ Society (LSS), who spoke about the value law alumni add to the student experience.

After class photos were taken, guests were invited to a special Domus gathering in the Grawood Pub. 

On Saturday, the Weldon Law Building opened its doors for an Open House at the law school. More than 75 alumni attended and got the opportunity to tour the building, look at their graduation pictures and learn the ways in which the law school has changed since they were students. 

Thanks to all who participated in making the weekend such a success! It was a pleasure to reunite and celebrate.
