Emory Law is committed to continuing to create an inclusive community that fosters empathy, service, and leadership.
Emory Law will continue to be a national and global leader in legal education by welcoming and supporting a diverse law school community, by carrying out path breaking and influential scholarship, and by offering exceptional teaching and practical learning opportunities.
Emory Law seeks to recruit ambitious, outstanding, and diverse students from across the nation who aspire to the level of excellence associated with Emory lawyers. By tripling the size of its endowments devoted to merit scholarships, needs-based financial aid, and other forms of student support, Emory Law will provide the nation’s top students access to exceptional legal education and prepare these future leaders for career success without financial hardship.
It is imperative that Emory Law be the gateway for professional success and service to society for students from a wide range of backgrounds and financial circumstances while also supporting long-term financial stability for the school.
For Emory Day of Giving, we are highlighting these giving opportunities geared at student flourishing:
Emory School of Law Scholarship Fund - This fund provides Emory Law the resources to recruit a highly qualified and diverse student body while ensuring that financial obstacles do not keep bright and passionate students from realizing their full potential in the field of law.
William and Jane Carney Center for Business and Transactional Law - The Carney Center for Business and Transactional Law will further strengthen the law school’s excellence in transactional law, while engaging more holistically with other phases of business law.
Center for Civil Rights and Social Justice -The Center for Civil Rights and Social Justice (CCRSJ) at Emory University School of Law channels the energy of late civil rights icon and Atlanta long-standing Congressman John Lewis 14H, honoring his legacy through work that keeps his spirit alive.

Center for the Study of Law and Religion -The center for the Study of Law and Religion is to produce and promote path-breaking scholarship, teaching, and public programs on the interaction of law and religion around the world. Gifts to this fund will allow students to explore the intersection of law and religion, examining how legal and religious principles shape societies, governance, and individual rights.
