USD Law Connect creates connections between alumni and students while fostering a culture of engagement among our student and alumni communities. The program provides ongoing opportunities for law students to benefit from the accumulated knowledge of our alumni through a combination of email communications, a welcome luncheon/reception, Lunch & Learn panels, Alumni Interactive events, Careers in the Law, Graduating Class Gift and receptions.

Our USD Law Connect alumni volunteers who are working with the 2010 entering class–now in their second year–will be hosting end-of-the-year celebrations with the 2L sections in spring semester.

We are currently seeking an additional 20 alumni volunteers for the 2012 entering class to join the 40 USD Law Connect alumni we currently have in the program. If you are interested in volunteering, please email Associate Director of Alumni Relations Shari Baurle, or call (619) 260-4692.
