This Law School Mixer Had A Lot Of Alcohol In It

I predict this will be a year of extreme inebriation among law students, led by the new class of 2015. We've got our second story of drunkenness, and it's only the first week...

RUTGERS SCHOOL OF LAW — NEWARK — SBA LETTER — ALCOHOL

Dear Fellow Students:

It has come to our attention that a few incidences occurred subsequent to the night of Buddy Mixer. First off, the Student Bar Association does not condone excessive or binge drinking and hopes that all students at these events conduct themselves in a professional and self-respecting manner.

Secondly, the SBA would like to extend our deepest apologies to any student who might have felt uncomfortable by the presence of alcohol at the event. As we are all well aware of, alcohol has a tendency to appear at a majority of student and professional events within the legal community. However, alcoholism and the dominance of this disease within the legal profession is not a joking matter. Events like Buddy Mixer are held to promote and bring together the entire student body and if any student felt embarrassed or distressed then we failed our goal.

The SBA Executive Board is asking for students to share their opinions, concerns, and ideas for all student organizations and groups on campus so that all students may feel welcome and comfortable at any event. Next week, on Tuesday September 4th at 8:15pm the SBA will be holding an open forum for any and all students to come and express their concerns and opinions about: Buddy Mixer, the presence of alcohol at student events, the role alcohol plays within the law school/community and any idea you might have moving forward. Please feel free to come and express any issues you would like the SBA to address.

We look forward to seeing everyone on the 4th. The room will be announced as soon as possible.

Best,
[SBA]
