Announcing the Alumni Law Board

The JMU Alumni Law Board held its inaugural meeting in October after a successful networking event for students interested in learning about law school and legal careers. The 15-member board is composed of JMU alumni holding or pursuing a JD degree, and seeks to facilitate and strengthen relationships among students, alumni, and faculty.

The Board has committees: Student Outreach and Programming organizes programming for students interested in law school and legal careers, while the Alumni Outreach and Networking Committee connects JMU alumni lawyers. The Fundraising Committee provides financial support to pre-law students and has established a new scholarship fund to compensate students for participation in unpaid internships in the legal field.

We invite all JMU Alumni Lawyers to connect through the LinkedIn and/or Facebook groups.
