Rascal Day is a time honored tradition for Cumberland School of Law. The festive event during the annual Law Week remembers a mongrel pup named Rascal who faithfully attended classes at the law school’s original campus beginning in 1933. In 1937, he was awarded the rare degree of doctor of canine jurisprudence awarded in honor of the hundreds of classes and mock trials at which Rascal’s attendance had been difficult to ignore.
When he passed away in 1940, Rascal was buried beneath the window of the law classroom where he had spent so much time. Dirt from his tombstone was then reinterred on the west side of Robinson Hall when Cumberland School of Law moved to Samford in the 1960s.
Rascal Day, complete with a doggie parade across campus, brings together the law school’s community while capturing the Cumberland School of Law experience and its ability to develop well-rounded lawyers.
