The 1870 Society

Named for the year of the law school’s founding, the 1870 Society honors our most generous donors for their leadership support to Richmond Law. As a Society member, you can serve as an example to others and make a tremendous impact on the lawyers of tomorrow, our students. In fact, support through the 1870 Society accounts for nearly two-thirds of the law school’s annual fund, which enables the school to:

  • Guarantee a Summer Public Service Fellowship to every Richmond Law student.
  • Empower students to support our community through clinics and pro bono service.
  • Enhance Richmond Law’s rigorous curriculum with innovative programming and events for students.
To express our gratitude, the law school invites Society members to exclusive events, including an annual donor reception, and provides special recognition in the Honor Roll of the annual Dean’s Report.

As an 1870 Society member, you lead the way.
