The UCD Law Alumni Community

John O'Donnell SC UCD Law Alumni Award recipient 2024 speaking at the Award Ceremony

As the largest law school in the country, and with a history that dates back to 1911, the UCD law alumni network consists of a wide and influential group of individuals within the legal profession, judiciary, politics, the business community, non-governmental organisations and charity sector. To enable our alumni to enjoy social and networking opportunities with their counterparts, we endeavour to build a strong alumni community whilst organising and facilitating events on their behalf, both in Ireland and overseas.  If you are a graduate of UCD law and haven’t as yet signed up to receive our Alumni Newsletter, you can do so by registering your details at (opens in a new window)this link. 

Class Reunion: Classes of 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015.  

In the Autumn of 2025 we will celebrate the Milestone Reunion of the BCL classes of 1985, 1995, 2005 and 2015 plus the BBLS class of 2005 and the BBL class of 2015. We will announce the reunion date shortly.

The evening will provide an opportunity for graduates of these years to reunite with classmates, renew old friendships, see how Belfield campus has been transformed in recent years and get a taste of student life today.

These Milestone Reunions have been a major event in the School calendar since we moved to the state-of-the-art Sutherland building in 2013.  Click on the links below to get an overview of past reunions.
