CLF Auction 2013

Professor Douglas Baird served as auctioneer.

Emily Van Wyck, '13, brought her daughter.

Triumphant bidders did not hide their excitement.

Most bidders planned out their strategy beforehand; others were spontaneous.

The students wore everything from Hawaiian shirts to flip-flops to sundresses.

The Lego Law School and Prof. Landes' Italian ties.

Even the Green Lounge cow got into beach mode.

As with any Law School get-together, the food was plentiful.

Prof. Baird presided over a packed Green Lounge.

The hula dancers put on a show during intermission.

Contestants in the Oliver Wendell Holmes mustache contest.

Many students teamed up for bidding on big-ticket items.

Willing students got hula lessons from a talented group of dancers.

Students didn't need to be told twice to get into the tropical spirit.

You'd never know it was a cold Chicago winter's night.

Much of the fun of the auction comes from watching the drama of bidding.
