Support the University of Wisconsin to help continue the tradition of excellence in teaching, research, and public service.
Make a GiftRegarded as one of the nation’s preeminent law schools, the University of Wisconsin Law School is defined by its tradition of excellence and innovation, the school’s setting in the heart of one of the world’s leading research universities, and its law-in-action approach to teaching and learning the law — an approach that differentiates it from other law schools. Today, top students are drawn to UW Law School for its stimulating and supportive atmosphere, the diverse student body, and the tremendous educational value provided by world-class faculty and programs.
Thanks to gifts from alumni and friends, the School continues its transformative educational mission while preserving the extraordinary quality of the UW Law experience. Your support helps to attract a talented and diverse student body, hire and retain our world-class faculty, and offer an unrivaled portfolio of experiential learning opportunities for students. All this enhances the Law School’s national reputation, increasing the value of a UW Law degree.
As part of the University of Wisconsin’s All Ways Forward Campaign, UW Law School has set a goal of $35 million. If you would like to discuss how you can move UW Law forward, contact Mindy Petersen. Your financial support can help in following areas:
- Recruit Great Students
Students are a critical part of what makes UW Law an exciting place. In a very competitive market, scholarship support helps recruit extraordinary, committed, diverse students, enabling them to follow their passions. It also allows UW Law to provide a transformative legal education to students from all walks of life, keep tuition reasonable, and help control student debt.
- Hire and Support a World-Class University
UW Law School faculty are vital to the success of students and the reputation and visibility of the School. Your support helps to recruit great faculty members, launch them as remarkable teachers and scholars, and keep them here at Wisconsin once they are nationally and internationally recognized.
- Support and Sustain innovative Programming
UW Law’s rich experiential learning programs provide inventive ways for law students to be exposed to the practice of law by doing legal work for real clients under the supervision of experienced lawyers and teachers. Your gifts help create and sustain these programs in areas as diverse as business law, criminal justice, health care, and mediation.
- Expand the Boundaries of Knowledge
Research is a tool for understanding our field, teaching it to the next generation, and sharing it with the broader community. Our faculty’s work ranges from research which directly affects current law and policy to broader, more theoretical critiques about how law works and should work. Your support advances faculty research, enhances teaching, and promotes participation in national and international work advancing law and justice.
