Hofstra Law

Orientation

August 18-21, 2026

Welcome Class of 2029!

You are about to begin your law school journey. You will grow and change in ways you never imagined. Embrace it, trust the process, and remember that you belong here. The next three years will pass more quickly than you expect, but their impact will last a lifetime. I encourage you to get involved, build connections, and fully experience what it means to be a law student. This is a chapter you won’t get to do again, so make the most of it. Wishing you all the best of luck. 

— Emily Alter 3L, President of the Student Bar Association
