You can share personal and professional updates (and recount memories from your time in law school!); upload photos; browse classmates’ pages and catch up with those who have shared their contact information; and view a map highlighting the cities where your classmates reside.

The Digital Class Book is similar to Class Notes you may recall from previous reunions.
