Rev. David T. Link Public Interest Banquet

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 | 6:00 PM | McKenna Hall, Room 215/216 We are pleased to announce that the Law School will host its fourth annual Rev. David T. Link Public Interest Banquet on Wednesday, October 1. The banquet will be held in 215/216 McKenna Hall and will begin with a cocktail reception at 6:00 pm, followed by dinner and an awards presentation led by the Public Interest Leadership Council, a student group composed of the leaders of our public interest and government focused student organizations. Rev. David T. Link served as the Dean of Notre Dame Law School for 24 years and lived an exemplary life of service. In addition to coining the phrase "A Different Kind of Lawyer," he once said, “Your vocation is what you do to make a living. Your purpose in life is what you do to make living worthwhile.” At this banquet named in Father Link’s honor, we will recognize two members of the Law School community whose vocations and purpose have carried on his legacy.
