2024 Distinguished Law Graduate Dinner

Every fall, the Law Alumni Association recognizes both a judicial graduate and non-judicial graduate as their Distinguished Law Graduates. These graduates are recognized for their service to their clients, the legal community and to St. Mary’s University School of Law. The Law Alumni Association also recognizes a Distinguished Young Alumnus/Alumna who is excelling in his/her profession and contributing to his/her community.

The Law Alumni Association began presenting an award to a distinguished graduate of the School of Law in 1981. Prior to 1981, the Distinguished Law Graduate was selected by faculty members of the School of Law. Proceeds from the dinner fund law school scholarships and alumni-sponsored student services.

This year the LAA will honor the 2024 Distinguished Law Graduate honorees.
