Preview Weekend Activities
Dear Prospective Student,
We know you’re lurking there! Over the past weeks, we’ve had the chance to speak with many of you and hope to meet even more of you at the preview weekends this month. In addition to the events that the Law School has scheduled, Outlaws has planned lots of events for LGBT and allied prospective students to meet and hang out with Outlaws. If you’ll be in town this Thursday and Friday, we hope to see you at some (or all!) of our events. If you have any questions prior to your arrival, please feel free to email me or any other member of Outlaws with whom you’ve been in contact.
Here’s what we have planned!
Thursday-
Immediately following the SFF auction (which is really fun), members of Outlaws will be meeting at the steps of the Reading Room to head to Ann Arbor’s gay bar, the Aut Bar. Outlaws will be providing soda and tasty snacks!
The Aut Bar is located at 315 Braun Court.
Friday-
12 PM- 2 pm- Coffee and cupcakes at Amer's Café, which is located across State Street in the Michigan Union.
5:15- 6:15 pm- Come say “hi” to Outlaws at the student group open house.
8.30 pm – We’ll be meeting on the Reading Room step’s to walk to the Outlaws houseparty. This is a great opportunity to relax and meet LGBTA students and prospective students in an informal atmosphere. We promise it will be lots of fun. It will definitely be more fun than the Law School Senate’s bar night, especially because……
at 10.30pm we’ll head to Necto, the LGBT dance club in Ann Arbor for a ridiculously fun time. If you can’t dance, you can still come and make fun of the rest of us who try!
The Houseparty is at my house, 433 South State Street
Necto is located at 516 E. Liberty Street
Please add my phone number to your cell phone and definitely do not hesitate to call or text if you get lost or need help finding an event. We really hope to see you this weekend!

Rally for Equality!!
On Saturday, November 15th, several days after discriminatory ballot initiatives were passed in three states, hundreds of rallies against California's Proposition 8 across the country. Rather than focusing solely on Prop. 8, Outlaws took the lead in organizing a rally to demonstrate Ann Arbor's support for equality for LGBTQ citizens. On the really really cold and rainy day, nearly FOUR HUNDRED law students, undergrads, grad students, profs, and community members came out to rally and march to the quad. Props to them! Propsto equality!
For the full story, check out the Michigan Daily and/or Ann Arbor Chronicle:
