The Law Firm Challenge helps USD School of Law lead the way by providing valuable funding for our students and programs. Participants compete for the highest percentage of alumni giving to the law school and for the most dollars raised.

The Law Firm Challenge is instrumental in helping the law school recruit and retain nationally recognized faculty, increase scholarship support and provide students with practical legal experience through our diverse selection of legal clinics. THANK YOU to those firms that were up for the challenge!
