The Law Society

The Law Society was created in 1984 to recognize the strongest financial contributors to the School of Law. Members of The Law Society are preeminent alumni and friends of the School who have pledged themselves to ensure that the educational and professional leadership provided by the School of Law since 1872 will continue for the benefit of future generations.

The power of private philanthropy enables the School of Law to offer academic programs and scholarships that might otherwise be unavailable. It is because of this tremendous support that the administration and faculty may plan for the future.

Individuals are recognized as members of The Law Society with gifts or pledges of $25,000 or more paid over up to five years. Gifts may be designated to existing gift accounts or new accounts may be established supporting students, faculty and programs.

An annual dinner is held in Columbia, Kansas City and St. Louis on a three-year rotation. New members and members elevating their recognition levels are recognized at the events.

Please contact the Mark Langworthy, Director of Development, at 573-882-4374 or langworthym@missouri.edu for more information about membership in The Law Society.
