Established in 1998, the Law Firm Challenge reconnects Georgetown alumni to the Law Center and promotes alumni participation in the Law Annual Fund. In 2007-2008, this friendly contest involved 44 firms and nearly 2,000 Georgetown Law alumni as firms competed for the highest percentage of alumni giving and most dollars raised for the Law Center.
The 2009 Challenge marks the eleventh anniversary of the program. The Law Firm Challenge continues to provide a unique opportunity for alumni to make a difference in the life of the Law Center. Volunteers at each firm encourage colleagues to make gifts to the Law Annual Fund. During the competition, volunteers receive regular progress updates, invitations to Georgetown Law events, and strategies to facilitate peer solicitations.
At the end of the Challenge, those firms with the highest participation percentages will have their names engraved on a plaque displayed prominently outside the Office of Career Services in McDonough Hall. The names of firms that raise the most on behalf of Georgetown Law will be engraved on a trophy displayed in the Timothy and Linda O’Neill Alumni Welcoming Center in the Eric E. Hotung International Law Center Building. All donors are recognized in the Law Firm Challenge Honor Roll of Donors in the fall.
The Law Firm Challenge supports the Law Annual Fund, which provides resources for the Dean to use where the need is greatest. It is this foundation of private support that keeps Georgetown Law on the cutting edge of legal education.
The Law Annual Fund supports:
- Financial aid
- The Edward Bennett Williams Library
- Clinics
- Journals
- Equal Justice Foundation (EJF) Summer Fellowships
- Moot Court Board
- Student Counseling
- Student Organizations
Any gift to The Law Center or Campus Ministry at the Law Center made by an alumnus/a from a participating firm counts toward The Law Firm Challenge.
To participate in the 2009 Law Firm Challenge or request more information about the program, please contact Anne Ferola, Director of Law Annual Fund at (202) 320-3683 or af273@law.georgetown.edu.
