Alumni and Development
Law Firm Campaign
What is the Georgia State University College of Law's Law Firm Campaign?
The Law Firm Campaign is a friendly competition amongst firms and companies trying to reconnect alumni to the College of Law and to promote participation in the College of Law's unristricted fund, the Fund for Law.
How does it work?
Each participating firm and company has at least one partner and associate agent, who encourages colleagues to make a gift to the College of Law, preferably the Fund for Law. Agents will receive progress updates throughout the year with bi-monthly updates beginning in April through May and weekly reports in June, as well as helpful hints and strategies to facilitate peer solicitations.
Why is the Law Firm Campaign important?
Gifts through the Law Firm Campaign fuel the most critical programs, those that allow Georgia State University College of Law to attract the best and brightest law students while maintaining its commitment of an affordable legal education. The Law Firm Campaign is a vehicle to generate gifts to the Fund for Law enabling the College of Law to remain competitive and at the cutting edge of legal education.
The Goals of the Law Firm Campaign are to:
- Increase law alumni participation in the Annual Campaign - Fund for law
- Provide financial resources to the school through alumni gifts
- Re-engage law graduates in the life of their alma mater
