Law Firm Challenge

The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law challenges alumni in firms with three or more Moritz graduates to participate in the college's Annual Giving Program.

Firms with the top participation percentages and/or in the top five for dollars raised will be publicly acknowledged (see 2007-08 results). Gifts can be designated to the Law Annual Fund or the Leadership Scholarship Initiative.

The 2008-09 Law Firm Challenge, which kicked-off on July 1, 2008, will run to June 30, 2009. The program continues to draw support from alumni around the region.

If your firm is interested in joining the Law Firm Challenge, please contact, Darnell Hines at hines.127@osu.edu or (614) 247-8640.
