Welcoming the Class of 2028

This fall, Alabama Law welcomed the Class of 2028 into the Law School community. Drawn from a competitive pool of approximately 1,750 applicants, this incoming class consists of 140 students who represent 21 states and have studied at 49 different colleges and universities. In total, members of this class speak 10 different languages and dialects from around the world and have studied, lived, or worked in 25 countries outside of the U.S. 

Classes officially began on August 18, but these 1Ls got a head start during a week-long orientation beginning on August 11. During orientation, they heard presentations from faculty, the Student Bar Association, and other members of the Alabama Law community; had time to socialize and get to know each other; took a trip to Montgomery to visit the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama and the Equal Justice Initiative's Legacy Museum; and completed a one-credit-hour introductory class that prepared them to hit the ground running at the start of the semester.
