Since then, it has grown to offer the largest and most extensive undergraduate and graduate programs in legal studies in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mark the launch of its 50th anniversary celebrations this year, the Department is hosting&nbsp;a special reception on campus on the afternoon of January 18, where past and current department staff, faculty, contract instructors, students, alumni, and other esteemed guests will be present to join in recognizing 50 years of innovation and excellence. President Roseann O&#8217;Reilly Runte will be in attendance to honour the department\u2019s achievements with a few opening remarks, followed by a warm welcome from the Chair of the department, Prof. Ron Saunders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>50th Anniversary Official Launch<\/strong><strong><br>\n<\/strong>Wednesday, January 18, 2017<br>\n4:00-6:00 p.m.<br>\nRichcraft Hall (formerly River Building), Room 2220-2228<br>\nCarleton University<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please RSVP by Friday, January 13th to:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"mailto:gina.freitag@carleton.ca\">gina.freitag@carleton.ca<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on this and other upcoming anniversary events taking place over the year, please visit<br>\n<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/carletonems.webpal.net\/link.php?M=10442598&amp;N=16818&amp;L=7021&amp;F=H\">http:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/our-50th-anniversary\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[566],"cu_event_audience":[394,396,397,402],"class_list":["post-18897","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_type-50th-anniversary","cu_event_audience-alumni","cu_event_audience-carleton-community","cu_event_audience-current-students","cu_event_audience-staff-faculty"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2017-01-18 16:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2017-01-18 18:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":"RB","cu_event_meeting_room":"2220 - 2228 Conference Rooms","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"Gina Freitag","cu_event_email":"gina.freitag@carleton.ca","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/18897","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/18897\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32278,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/18897\/revisions\/32278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18897"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=18897"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=18897"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
