Partnering with UCI School of Law

The immensely exciting endeavor to create a new kind of law school for the 21st century has brought together a wide array of local, state and national volunteers.

Mentors, advisors, donors and boosters have all contributed expertise and financial resources to make UC Irvine School of Law a reality.

Your generosity now is an investment in the dramatic rise of the nation’s newest top-tier law school, destined to produce lawyers, judges, business leaders and public officials educated to provide service at the very highest levels of their professions.

For information regarding our community relations and development initiatives and opportunities, please contact Charles Cannon, Assistant Dean of Development and External Affairs, (949) 824-2027, ccannon@law.uci.edu.

“Local law firms and corporations

have been tremendously supportive, first in persuading the Regents and California legislators to approve a new public law school at UC Irvine, then in providing expertise and financial resources to the university to bring us to opening day. Given the expense of creating a 21st century law school, private gifts, already received in excess of $24 million, make all the difference between a decent and a top–tier institution. The value of these local contributions of time and resources cannot be overstated – our earliest supporters are the true founders of our school.”

“After six years of building the

foundation, the UC Irvine School of Law is now a dynamic reality. Equally as exciting is our new dean—the distinguished legal scholar, Erwin Chemerinsky. Dean Chemerinsky brings his insightful leadership not only to UCI, but to the entire Orange County community and the national legal community. This is a powerful gift for the Orange County bench and bar.”
