You couldn't help but feel the love in November, 2003 when some 600 people filled the first floor of the law school for the formal opening of the new T. Gerald Treece courtroom. The courtroom's opening drew advocates from the past 20 years plus friends, former employees, faculty and staff. The Texas Supreme Court graciously mingled with the crowd, as the first tours of the new facility were conducted. On November 12, 2003, the state's high court conducted the first legal proceedings in the courtroom, which was designed to accommodate the nine justices. The event was an historic event to mark the school's 80th year of educating students.
