The law is alive — online
Wayne Law virtually brings the law and community to life during pandemic

Within a matter of days, the Law School took all operations virtual in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Everything from classes and exams to staff meetings and programs — and even pet therapy — became an online activity.

Our community is always active, including on social media. Faculty members Christopher C. Lund and Kerry Kornblatt took over our Instagram story for a day, where they documented working from home while taking care of their kids. Lund is pictured with his sons during “outside time” and right before he logged on to teach Religious Liberty in the United States. For more, follow us on Instagram @waynelawschool.
