The annual CSU|LAW Hall of Fame, established in 2017, honors distinguished alumni, faculty, staff, friends, and community leaders for their outstanding contributions to our law school’s success and prestige.

As our most attended and only fundraising event, it has raised $2.3 million over the past seven years to support student scholarships and critical needs. This event plays a vital role in shaping the future of our students and our school. We hope you’ll join us this year to continue making a lasting impact—helping our students Learn Law, Live Justice.

This year, all proceeds will support the creation of the Lee Fisher Student Success Fund, a new initiative dedicated to empowering our students through four key areas:

  • Bar Passage Assistance Fund
  • Student Emergency Fund
  • Student Professional Development Fund
  • CSU|Law Scholarships
