      Why Give?

      Southwestern Law School relies on our alumni and friends to keep the school strong for generations to come. 

      Through planned gifts to Southwestern’s endowment, and through endowment gifts during the donor’s lifetime, the school has permanently memorialized more than 80 supporters in its scholarships, faculty positions and programs.  These endowed gifts support only some of the core functions of the law school, and we have many more areas where you can make a profound difference:

      • Student scholarships
      • Faculty positions
      • Programs
      • Clinics
      • Facilities and locations

      In addition, legacy commitments give Southwestern an enhanced ability to invest in important strategic projects and plan for the future.

      Not only will legacy donors have the satisfaction of having made a difference in the future of Southwestern, but the benefits can be immediate:

      • Significant tax benefits while maintaining financial security for them and their families
      • The ability to make a larger gift than might otherwise be possible
      • The opportunity to establish a permanent memorial for a relative, friend or in one's own name

      The Counselors of Southwestern are investors in the future of the school who wish to ensure that their support continues beyond their lifetimes.

      Donors have an opportunity to help students fulfill their dreams and goals. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds and many of them need a scholarship to be able to study law at all. Others need that extra scholarship to be able to participate in a special opportunity like an externship, and even smaller amounts can make an amazing difference for our students.

      Books are very expensive, so a book scholarship can go a long way. Our goal is to recruit and to retain amazing faculty members to work with our students. But a lot of other people are vying for those same people and are trying to come get people who are with us now. So we need professorships and chairs and research funds to allow our professors to keep up-to-date, to pursue their passions, to be ready to teach our students for the future.

      We are located in the historic Bullocks Wilshire building in Los Angeles. It is on the National Landmark of Historic Places. Gifts can help keep up the historic building, or to make sure that the technology in our classrooms is exactly what we need to train our students to be effective attorneys.

      Students that come to Southwestern really do populate the public interest areas. And they go to school knowing that they're going to use this law degree. And they're going to use it for the greater good, even though that's not going to be the highest paid jobs out there.

      And so a donation that can help them to not have as much debt when they get out of school will allow them to really begin the process of helping their community and doing jobs that they frankly are good at and want to do rather than take a job that pays more so they can pay down student debt.

      No matter the size, your gift can change lives. Consider supporting a Southwestern student today.
