In 1906, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law played its first faculty-student softball game. For many years, the game consisted of professors playing against the staff of the Law Review. As time went on, however, participating students included those taking the Communication and Legal Reasoning course and members of the 3L class. The professors mixed things up as well, occasionally recruiting retired professional baseball players to join their team as honorary faculty members. (Rumor has it, the professors usually won.)
We hope this exhibit will bring back warm memories from your time at Northwestern Law. However, we also hope it will help us fill in the blanks for our archives. Do you recognize yourself or your classmates in these pictures? Do you have any pictures or stories from the year you played? If so, please consider sharing them with us. Together, we can preserve the history of this important Law School tradition.
