Frequently Asked Questions

Making a Gift

What is the Law Assembly and why should I make a gift to it?

The Law Assembly is the foundation of financial support for the USF School of Law. Law Assembly contributions bolster student and alumni services and programs, and help to advance the stature of the law school. Law Assembly funds support many important projects, such as law clinics, summer internships abroad and at home, scholarships, loan repayment assistance, diversity initiatives, symposia, visiting faculty, and moot court competitions, among others. Your participation is an affirmation of the value of a USF School of Law education, and an investment in the law school's future.
