Class of 1970 Celebrates 50th Reunion

Members of the UC Davis Law Class of 1970 celebrated their 50th law school reunion on Saturday, Oct. 9 in the King Hall courtyard. 

Postponed for a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the afternoon gathering featured appetizers and a champagne toast by Dean Kevin R. Johnson

Johnson thanked the class members for taking a chance on what was still a new law school all those years ago. He noted that they were part of the student body that pushed to name the building after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., after the civil rights leader was killed in 1968. 

“Our law school’s world-renowned focus on social justice started with you,” Johnson said. After toasting the class, Johnson gave the podium over to Steve Frank ’70, a reunion committee member who was instrumental in organizing Saturday’s event. 

Frank acknowledged the class members present and paid tribute to many who had passed away since graduating from law school.
