Law School Office of Special Events

St. John’s School of Law hosts a wide variety of events, from small receptions to elaborate gala banquets.

The Office of Special Events will assist you in reserving rooms, creating menus, and coordinating everything you need to make your event a success.

To ensure the best possible attendance at all Law School events, we do not book events which conflict with each other. Plan your events as early as possible to obtain an appropriate space and to maximize attendance. You will find forms and resources to guide you in the event production process below.
