Celebrating 30 years since My Law School Graduation on June 15 1990 – U of T Law Faculty

Posted on July 25, 2020 by Anita Szigeti

30 years. Wow. I graduated from the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law on June 15, 1990. The whole thing is a blur. But a happy one. Law School was an important formative experience. But it was not till I began practising on my own that I learned how to do just that. Here are some memories from that beautiful sunny summer day of celebration for my family at Convocation Hall at the U of T.
