TLA's signature event every year on campus is Law Day on the Hill. During this event, two TLA Co-Chairs present a program in February/March for Tufts undergraduates. There is typically a panel discussion on a topic of interest, law student orientation programming, and networking opportunities among students and TLA member alumni. Below are some photos from a prior Law Day.
