Fordham Law Firm Challenge


The 2012 Firm Challenge has expanded to offer new and exciting benefits! The Fordham Law Firm Challenge encourages alumni within each firm to support the Dean’s programs and initiatives through the Fordham Law Fund.  The Challenge provides a unique opportunity for alumni at firms to make a difference by increasing giving participation while simultaneously advancing Fordham Law’s reputation of excellence in the legal community.

This year, and with the madness during March, we moved Fordham Law forward with a new spin on the Firm Challenge. Learn more! [PDF]
