The LAA is dedicated to supporting the School of Law by raising scholarship funds and serving students through programs and mentoring opportunities.
Financial support is provided through a voluntary dues program that was launched five years ago.
The LAA Board of Directors coordinates many programs during the academic year to help law students find jobs. The association also recognizes a distinguished law graduate each year and cosponsors a reception with the School of Law to honor the recipient. A representative of the Law Alumni Association serves as a voting member of the St. Mary's University Board of Trustees. The Law Alumni Association is an affiliate of the St. Mary's University Alumni Association. The LAA selects directors and officers each spring and the Board of Directors accomplishes its goals through a number of active committees.
