SMU Dedman School of Law began selecting graduates to honor as "Distinguished Alumni" in 1986, when three alumni were chosen out of the (at that time) 6,300 alumni worldwide "because their personal and professional stature reinforce the quality of the legal education program of the school."

Please save the date for Saturday, February 25, 2012 at the Westin Galleria to honor these distinguished individuals.

Printed invitations for this event will arrive in January 2012.
