Law Firm Annual Challenge

The Law Firm Annual Challenge (LFAC) was created to give alumni an opportunity to reconnect with their alma mater, to promote meaningful participation in the life of the law school, and to strengthen the Husky network within the legal community. The challenge will serve as the foundation for an organized and mutually beneficial partnership that will sustain and grow the University of Washington School of Law for the betterment of the Puget Sound legal community and beyond. Make a gift today.

Some of the participating firms have generously given to special projects through the Law Firm Annual Challenge.
