Faculty Blogs: Please Support or Attend the Annual Charity Auction

The Student Bar Foundation will host its Annual Charity Auction on March 11th, 2009 from 5:00-8:00. We will have a live and silent auction, drinks, entertainment and hors d'oeuvres to raise money for legal, public service fellowships.

We are currently soliciting donations and would love to have your donated items or in kind donations (dinner with a Professor, law books, hornbooks, etc.) as well as your participation at the event! Please contact Andrea Vetter at anhubb01@gwise.louisville.edu if you have a donation, or any questions.

The Student Bar Foundation is the charitable giving arm of the Student Bar Association. This student run organization helps raise money and distribute funds for student fellowships or travel stipends for law-related public service work with a focus on delivery of legal services to the poor and indigent, law related public education and improvement of the judiciary, the legal profession, and citizen access to the justice system.

Since its inception in 2002, the Student Bar Foundation has distributed funds to students completing public service work at the Legal Aid Societies in Louisville, New Orleans and Cincinnati, the Louisville Center for Women and Families, Whitman Walker Clinic in Washington D.C., and even a project in Rwanda where a student interned with the Gacaca courts that prosecute cases from the genocide. In 2008, the Student Bar Foundation gave $5,000 for the opening of the law school clinic.

Thank you!
