Why Give to the Law School Fund?
When you give to the Law School Fund, you’re not just making a gift you’re investing in the future of Northwestern Pritzker School of Law and strengthening the value of your degree.
As a student, your own experiences were shaped by the generosity of alumni and friends who came before you. Their support built the classrooms you studied in, brought world-class faculty to campus, and launched the innovative programs that continue to distinguish Northwestern Law today.
Today, alumni contributions help the Law School foster a culture of collaboration among highly-engaged students, in an environment that emphasizes collegiality over competition and addresses not only the skills required of successful students, but those of dynamic professionals. A thriving Law School Fund is a principal means by which alumni participate in enhancing the Law School and ensuring we uphold our tradition of excellence.
