Why Give?

As recent as five years ago, all of us at John Marshall celebrated the success of our Centennial Campaign. We now stand ready to take another significant step forward in fundraising through The John Marshall Law School Foundation. With the advent of the new foundation, the law school advances its commitment to serving our donors with the highest level of integrity and appreciation, and upholds its core mission of preparing new attorneys grounded in the same fundamentals that have been taught here in Chicago since 1899.

Your gift helps the law school and its students maximize potential by providing support in four areas:         

•  Defining opportunity for student support

-academic and need-based scholarships, bar exam preparation

• Defining opportunity for faculty support

-faculty recruitment and development, endowed chairs, research
 and travel grants 

• Defining opportunity for program support

-honors programs, clinics, externships, moot court and trial
 advocacy programs, student life activities

• Defining opportunities for facilities and technology support

-library, computer services, upgraded classrooms,
 capital improvements
