When prospective students are admitted to Michigan Law, the
admissions team sends a lot of information about how the collegiality
of Michigan Law really sets it apart from its peer schools. Preview
Weekend gives potential students a chance to see that collegiality in
practice, in particular, the weekend that features the annual Student
Funded Fellowships Auction. It was at the auction that I firmly
decided, without reservations, that I wanted to spend my next three
years at Michigan Law.
If you haven’t been to an SFF Auction, I’ll just describe it as the
most worthwhile way to have a lot of fun on a Thursday night during a
Michigan winter. It is inspiring to see students opening their wallets
to bid on items donated by the extended Michigan Law family in order to
support their classmates’ work in the public interest.
Maybe it was the free drinks or the sub-freezing late March night, but
I felt warm and comfortable inside Hutchins Hall during the SFF
auction. When I saw Dean Zearfoss dancing on a table across
from Dean Caminker to raise bids, I was sold. Not only were the
students and faculty working for a great cause, they knew how to have
fun doing it.
During Preview Weekend, the SFF Auction showed me and other prospective
students what those glossy admissions brochures had been boasting
about. I doubt that the pictures of the Deans dancing on the tables
will make it into the admissions brochures, but Michigan Law should
really consider it: that’s what Michigan Law is about.
