Law Alumni Awards

The DePaul University College of Law Alumni Awards program began in 1994 as an initiative of the Law Alumni Board. Today it honors outstanding DePaul University College of Law alumni in four categories: Distinguished Alumnus/a, Outstanding Service to the Profession, Outstanding Service to DePaul University and Outstanding Young Alumnus/a.

Proceeds from the Law Alumni Awards Dinner benefit the Center for Public Interest Law (CPIL) at DePaul. Nearly 250 alumni and friends attended the 2011 dinner, raising over $90,000 for CPIL.
