Alumni Boards

Law Society

Students are drawn to USF for the high quality of legal training and the knowledge that their years here will not end at graduation. All alumni are members of The Law Society. The Law Society makes it possible for law school associations and benefits to continue for a lifetime.

The Law Society's goals are to:

  • Advance the cause of legal education
  • Promote the interests and welfare of the USF School of Law
  • Foster loyalty and community among alumni
  • Further the principles of, and actively support, the University of San Francisco

Each December, at an Annual Holiday Luncheon, the Law Society presents the Alumnus of the Year award. Since 1991, this award has honored alumni who have distinguished themselves by their professional accomplishments, public service, or service to the law school. Honorees include Hon. Saundra Brown Armstrong '77, Robert Bianco '61, Donald Carano '59, Hon. Ming Chin '67, Hon. Judith R. Epstein '77, Hon. Donald King '58; and Tedodore Kolb '45.

The Law Society also sponsors the Alumni Graduates Dinner each May. The dinner provides an occasion to congratulate the graduating students and welcome them as members of the Law Society.

Board of Governors

The affairs of The Law Society are administered by a 19-member Board of Governors which includes five officers, 14 members-at-large serving three-year terms, and the immediate past president of the USF Student Bar Association who serves a one-year term.

The Board of Governors sponsors events and activities to keep alumni involved in the life of the law school, to mentor students and to keep alumni connected. They also provide support and advice to the Dean and faculty.
