 WHY GIVE

 

"As an active alumnus, I feel it is important to keep the standard of excellence that Southern University Law Center has provided for over 50 years through annual financial contributions. Without financial contributors, the tradition of high quality legal education and the ability of Southern Law graduates to continue to provide sound legal advice throughout the state and nation would be greatly diminished. "

Robert M. Marionneaux, Jr.
State Senator

The efforts of the Law Center creates a zeal in me, which helps me realize that it is my responsibility to do whatever I can to pass this great experience to the next generation.

W. James Singleton
