Proceeds from the 29th Annual Alumni Awards Gala support the Domestic Violence Advocacy Initiative.
Southwestern Law School Alumni Association’s Domestic Violence Advocacy Initiative (DVAI) provides attorneys with zero to three years of legal experience with the opportunity to gain valuable legal training and expertise. Participants work with established public interest and legal aid organizations to provide free or low-cost legal assistance to victims and survivors of domestic violence in underrepresented, marginalized, or underserved communities.
