2020 has changed so many aspects of our world. One thing it has not changed is CSU Cleveland-Marshall’s commitment to providing students of every age, race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or disability with a quality legal education, and helping them to fulfill our motto of Learn Law. Live Justice.
In order to fulfill our mission, we are seeking support to create a Living Justice Scholarship Fund for students committed to racial, social, and equal justice and demonstrate Learn Law. Live Justice. every day. In addition, we are seeking increased funding for a number of outstanding named scholarships and fellowships that already provide support for law students’ studies and work experience in serving justice for all.
We have united as a community in the face of a shared crisis. Now it’s time to move forward in providing our students with opportunities to excel and change our world after this crisis. We are asking you to join us.
