Law Advancement
Founded in 1869, the Notre Dame Law School has dual goals: to ascend to the very top of the legal academy in its teaching and scholarship, and to maintain its commitment to the Catholic traditions in which it finds its roots.
The Office of Law School Advancement is charged with nurturing the twin missions of the Law School, where “educating a different kind of lawyer” isn’t only a tagline—it’s a way of life. The Office assists donors wishing to contribute at a variety of levels: through the Law School Annual Fund, the Order of St. Thomas More recognition society, and leadership gifts.
Current funding priorities of the Notre Dame Law School include:
- Endowed professorships
- Law fellowships
- Loan repayment assistance funds
- Law library support

Students Value Alumni Commitment and Fellowship Support
No one ever said law school would be easy—the intellectual demands are great, to say the least. But the rewards, particularly for those who embrace their law school community, can be even greater, says Merili Mosley, a third-year student in the Notre Dame Law School.
Despite her heavy workload, Merili serves as the president of the Black Law Students Association and makes time to volunteer in the admissions office. After all, this “give back” mentality played a big part in attracting her to NDLS.
“Financial aid played a very significant role in my decision,” she says. “But it was the combination of the alumni’s commitment to the Notre Dame family and fellowship assistance that ultimately brought me here.”
The Law School’s deeply entrenched sense of values wasn’t lost on Merili either: fellowships and alumni support only complement that the fact “that here I can study law under faculty who really care about a lawyer’s ethical obligations,” she says.
