Advisory Board & Institutional Sponsors

The work of Center on the Legal Profession would not be possible without the tremendous support by the many individuals, foundations and institutions affiliated with the Center. Nurturing and developing the relationships with each of these supporters is a key aspect of one of the Center’s primary goals of forging a strong, interactive connection between the academy and the profession.
