Happy Halloween! We look forward to the trick-or-treaters in our neighborhood.

Microsoft Copilot says that “The strongest Halloween party environments for law students are at universities with major campus‑wide Halloween traditions, especially Ohio University, UNC–Chapel Hill, East Carolina University, and UCSB.

Short answer: If you want a law school where the surrounding university throws legendary Halloween parties, the best fits are UNC School of Law, Ohio State’s Moritz College of Law (near Ohio University’s Athens scene), and Duke Law or Campbell Law (near ECU’s Greenville blowouts). UCSB’s Halloween is huge, but UCSB has no law school.”

A judge who lives in Santa Barbara told me once that people should steer clear of Isla Vista, the student enclave near the campus, on Halloween.
