Thank you for investing in the people and the programs that make the USD School of Law what it is today
The University of San Diego School of Law creates a shared legacy with donors by building upon a storied history of stewardship and commitment to legal excellence. Your contribution supports the current needs of our aspiring lawyers and legal professionals while building a foundation for future generations of legal scholars to thrive.
Maudsley Fellows Society
Created in 1992 in honor of esteemed Professor Ronald H. Maudsley (1918-1981), the Maudsley Fellows Society is a distinguished group of donors committed to supporting the USD School of Law through annual donations of $1,500 or more. Their gifts enable the law school to maintain high standards of excellence in scholarships and education for the benefit of students and the San Diego community as a whole.
Maudsley Fellows donors are individually listed and prominently displayed in the entryway to the law school. This listing provides a leadership example for alumni and demonstrates to students the impact of alumni support on their legal education. Maudsley Fellows donors are currently leading the way at the USD School of Law, such as:
- Providing scholarship support to attract and retain top students
- Funding capital projects to provide students with facilities that combine the latest technology with our faculty experts
- Broadening the reach of programs like the USD Legal Clinics that provide over $3.5M in pro-bono legal services every year while also providing critical hands-on training for our students
