Community and Culture
Since 1887, our law school has been built on the vision of our community.
Now it’s your turn to shape what comes next.
"Over the decades, we’ve grown in both size and stature, evolving into a diverse and dynamic network of students, alumni, faculty and friends who continue to build on the ideals of our founders. Their vision has become the blueprint for our law school.
We are proud - and deeply grateful - to all who have helped advance our mission by engaging, contributing, and carrying forward our legacy of leadership and service. So, what will your blueprint be?"
- Dean S. Todd Brown
