Milestone Reunion of the Classes of 1985, 1995, 2005, and 2015

In November 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming alumni from the BCL, BBL and BBLS Classes of 1985, 1995, 2005, and 2015 back to UCD Sutherland School of Law for their Milestone Reunions. The evening was a joyous celebration of old friendships, shared memories, and reconnecting with familiar faces.
Alumni gathered in the Gardiner Atrium catching up with one another over canapés and wine. The air was filled with laughter and conversation as everyone rekindled bonds and reminisced about their time at UCD.

For many, it was their first visit to the Sutherland building, which opened its doors in late 2013.

As the evening progressed, each class moved into dedicated breakout rooms, where more intimate conversations took place and Professor Imelda Maher, Dean of Sutherland School of Law, gave a very warm welcome to the individual classes. Alumni swapped stories, shared fond memories, and reflected on their time at UCD. Group photos of each class celebrating their reunion are featured below.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Class Speakers and Class Representatives, whose efforts played a vital role in reaching out to classmates and ensuring such a wonderful turnout. Their hard work, alongside the contributions of many others, helped make this reunion a truly memorable occasion.
