Give to KU Law

Coming from a small town in central Kansas, many community members spoke fondly of their memories and time as KU students and boasted of the incredible opportunities afforded to them because of their alma mater. So, when I decided to go to law school — and when I decided I wanted to practice in Kansas — my top choice was a no-brainer: KU Law. My acceptance became sweeter when I received my financial aid packet and realized that my time in law school would not be filled with anxieties about how I would afford tuition. My scholarship has allowed me to dedicate my time to studying and getting involved in the KU Law community through clubs/organizations, public interest job opportunities, fellowships and clinics. Through their donations, donors have allowed me to succeed in law school, and I will forever be appreciative of their generosity.

I am incredibly grateful and honored to have received the public interest stipend, which supported my summer internship at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office in New York. This experience was both meaningful and rewarding, as it provided me with invaluable insight into the workings of our criminal justice system, giving me an opportunity to observe courtroom proceedings, learn courtroom decorum and professional conduct and gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to be an effective attorney. The knowledge and skills I developed during this internship have strengthened my confidence and will undoubtedly help me feel more prepared to begin practicing law after graduation. I sincerely thank the generous donors who made this opportunity possible.

We are so grateful for donor support of our moot court programs, as it has allowed us to provide intense experiential learning opportunities to more and more students each year. This year, 35 students will represent KU Law in moot court competitions across the nation. These students take advantage of every opportunity and are committed to their own success. Student success has resulted in a Top 30 national ranking for the KU Law Moot Court program for the last ten years.
