We need your help and generosity to support our students’ work in the local community. Public interest internship stipends are of great philanthropic value. The stipends we fund not only allow future lawyers to gain community-minded experience and training, they also provide much needed legal assistance to charitable organizations and their clients. Many of the recipients of these prestigious stipends will devote their careers to public interest work. We are happy to report that the support of our 2023 sponsors helped us to fund stipends for 11 hard-working students.
 
Please help us meet our fundraising goal of providing 20 stipends by attending or donating to our annual auction, which will be held on April 4, 2024. Our theme this year is Casino Night and is open to the entire law school and guests as well as members of the Dallas legal community. Any donation of product or services from your business would be greatly appreciated. We welcome both monetary donations (gift cards, gift certificates, and memberships) and in-kind donations (merchandise or services). Donations from local businesses are the essential component to making this event successful.
