Law Leadership Awards
The Law Leadership Dinner, first held in 1995, is the signature fundraiser for the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at ÌÇÐÄvlog¶ÌÊÓƵ and provides the setting for the presentation of the prestigious Distinguished Service Award, which honors individuals or organizations that have made outstanding contributions to the legal community.
Additional awards are presented each year to recognize outstanding alumni and other law leaders, including the Haub Impact Award, honoring individuals who have made a lasting impact on the Haub Law community, and the Visionary of Justice Award, honoring those who raise awareness about human rights concerns, and/or motivate the initiation of social justice efforts within their communities. The Shining Star Award recognizes up-and-coming Haub Law alumni in all areas of legal practice who have made significant contributions to the profession, their organizations, and the community early in their careers.
Funds raised at the annual Law Leadership Dinner help to underwrite the Law School's outstanding academic programs, faculty and students.
