Law School Celebrates Thanksgiving With Pie

Ex Ante Thanksgiving Pie Celebration

At orientation, Dean of Students Amy Gardner likes to tell first-year students that law school is like a pie-eating contest. The prize for winning, she says, is... more pie.

And so a few years ago, in honor of the pie metaphor, she started a pre-Thanksgiving tradition: The Law School brings in lots of pie, and the faculty and staff serve it to the students.

This year, four varieties—apple, pumpkin, pecan, and chocolate—lined tables in the Green Lounge, and hundreds of students showed up to grab a slice.
