The Volunteer Honor Roll recognizes the many KU Law graduates who donate time, energy and expertise to the law school. 

They mentor and stage mock interviews with students, guest lecture in law classes and at student organization events, judge moot court rounds, host alumni receptions, serve on boards and otherwise volunteer for the benefit of the law school and future generations of KU lawyers.

Names that follow represent volunteer efforts from April 2020 to April 2021. If you are aware of omissions or errors, please contact Margaret Hair at mhair@ku.edu.
