The USC Gould Alumni Association is a community of more than 13,000 alumni worldwide. Its mission is to further the tradition of the Trojan Network by creating and maintaining meaningful connections among alumni and with the law school. All graduates of USC Gould's JD and master's degree programs are automatically admitted to the Association.
