How to Find Events and Media Information on the UChicago Law Website

Updated

The University of Chicago Law School homepage (law.uchicago.edu) surfaces two direct entry points for this: an Events heading for upcoming activities and a Media Inquiries link for press contact. Both appear as section headings on the homepage itself, so you can reach them without digging through a search bar. If you need something beyond events or press contact — admissions, faculty profiles, academic programs — the homepage navigation is the place to branch out.

Finding Events

The homepage carries an Events heading as one of its main content sections. That is the starting point for learning what is happening at the Law School.

  • Look for the Events heading on the homepage and follow it to the events listing.
  • Expect a mix of activity types. The homepage's other sections show the school publishes student-facing stories (class profiles, orientation news) alongside faculty and public-facing items, so events listings are likely to span similar ground — talks, community gatherings, and school programming.
  • If a specific event page is not linked from the heading, use the site's own navigation or search rather than guessing at a URL.

What to verify once you're there: dates, times, location, and whether an event is open to the public or restricted to students and faculty. The homepage excerpt does not specify these details, so confirm them on the individual event page.

Media Inquiries and Press Contact

The homepage includes a Media Inquiries link. Use it if you are a journalist, editor, or communications professional seeking comment, interviews, or official statements from the Law School.

  • Follow Media Inquiries for the school's press contact channel.
  • This is separate from general admissions or student-services contact — route your request through the media link if your purpose is coverage or comment.
  • For context on what the school publicizes, the homepage's news section shows the kind of material that generates press interest: faculty scholarship cited in national coverage (for example, Samuel Bray's paper referenced in reporting on Ten Commandments classroom laws) and major awards (Martha Nussbaum receiving the Library of Congress's John W. Kluge Prize).

What Else the Homepage Covers

Beyond events and media, the homepage organizes content under these headings:

Section What it offers
News School announcements, class profiles, faculty honors
Faculty in the News Faculty scholarship and commentary cited in outside coverage
The UChicago Experience Student life and community stories

If your question is about student experience, the "The UChicago Experience" section and the class profiles (for example, interviews with incoming JD students about their paths to law school) are the most direct sources. If it's about faculty research or public commentary, "Faculty in the News" is the right section.

Practical Notes

  • The homepage is the entry point, not the full site. Sections like Events and Media Inquiries are headings that lead to deeper pages — click through rather than treating the homepage as the complete answer.
  • The excerpt does not state whether events require registration, whether media inquiries have a response-time commitment, or whether any of this content sits behind a login. Treat those as unknowns to confirm on the destination page.
  • For anything not covered by these headings — admissions requirements, tuition, academic calendars — start from the homepage navigation and follow the relevant top-level section.
