Law Firm Challenge

Join fellow Trojan colleagues in this annual tradition of giving back.

The Law Firm Challenge is an annual giving drive which brings together hundreds of alumni across law firms and organizations worldwide to raise critical support for the law school. Every dollar raised helps build up USC Gould's excellence and ability to provide students with an outstanding legal education.

Show your Pride

  • Improve Participation and Support
    By participating in the challenge, you help raise alumni participation rates and demonstrate to current and future students the value alumni place on their law school. This helps USC Gould to compete for the best students and faculty and maintain our elite status among the nation's law schools.
  • Strengthen the Trojan Family Network
    The challenge taps into the legendary USC Gould Alumni network, providing an opportunity to unite where you work under the common purpose of supporting your law school in a friendly competition. Your participation sends a critical message to fellow alumni and the entire legal community: Our alumni give back.
  • Promote Your Law Firm or Organization
    USC Gould proudly acknowledges participating organizations on our website, social media channels, and publications. We want our community to know the good work your firm is doing at USC Gould.
