Law Firm Giving Challenge
A friendly competition for alumni at Syracuse-area law firms to support to the College of Law.
Calling All Orange Lawyers!
Alumni giving is a key factor in raising the College’s ranking and reputation throughout the legal education community. We are encouraging you—through a new, friendly competition among your colleagues—to show your support for your alma mater.
From April 5 to June 30, 2018, the College of Law challenges all of our alumni in Syracuse law firms to participate in the Law Firm Challenge. All gifts made during the 2018 fiscal year (July 1, 2017 - June 30, 2018) will count toward your firm's participation rate.
Please help us realize the College of Law’s vision and support the next generation of Orange lawyers!

Participating firms will be categorized into one of three groups:
- Small Firms (<15 Orange attorneys)
