Champions for Justice Ceremony

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 | 5:30 PM | McKenna Hall Fr. Hesburgh once called upon our law students to have a hunger for justice, to "realize that competence in the law without compassion leads the lawyer to use the law for other purposes than the works of justice, blinds him to the sad plight of persons who suffer injustice for want of a lawyer champion." We are excited to honor those among our third-year class who have exhibited an exemplary commitment to public service during the course of their time in law school. More specifically, we will be celebrating these groups of students: - The recipients of the Law School's Shaffer Fellowships - Those students who have committed to the Judge Advocate General Corps - Those students who have exceeded a high threshold of public interest work through their participation in summer internships and/or law school clinics and externships The final group will be recognized as Champions for Justice in recognition of Fr. Hesburgh's call to all ND law students. Sponsor: Notre Dame Law School
