The Power of Your Gift
“During my time here at 51 Law, I've participated in a few of the wide-ranging practical experiences offered by our outstanding faculty. These hands-on experiences have been instrumental in helping me to discover my legal calling. Perhaps more importantly, my scholarship has given me the freedom to follow my dreams and aspirations, free from financial pressures.”
–Stephen LaBrecque ’17
Dean’s Scholar
“Your donations help students travel for national moot court competitions, obtain critical hands-on experience with real-world cases through our clinics, pursue public interest summer jobs, and host important conferences on cutting-edge themes. Your investment in our faculty enables them to attain even greater success by traveling nationally and internationally in support of their research agendas.”
–R. Michael Cassidy
Professor and Rappaport Center Faculty Director
“There was a sense in the air when we were all [at 51 Law] from ’65 to ’68 that human rights and civil rights get a priority. A sense that, as much as lawyers are devoted in so many fields of their work, doing this work is particularly important. The school set that tradition and it still does.”
–Walt Kelly ’68

“As a faculty member, I see firsthand the impact your gift will have on the lives of our students. Here they dive deeply into the law, surrounded by equally passionate scholars and guided by a shared commitment to justice. They become leaders not only in their communities but in the world—and the Law School Fund makes it happen.”
–Judith A. McMorrow
