Giving to Richmond Law

Since the Law School’s founding in 1870, alumni and friends like you have given generously to make an extraordinary legal education possible for our students. Richmond Law’s tuition is among the lowest for private law schools in the top 100 and only covers 65% of a student’s experience. The school relies on financial contributions to help make up the difference. Each and every gift, large or small, provides a benefit to students that they would not have otherwise.
