Rutgers School of Law–Newark Alumni Association

The Rutgers School of Law–Newark Alumni Association is a separate 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and a major resource for the law school. The mission of the association is to strengthen relationships among alumni and between alumni and the Law School community, and to advance the ideals, reputation, and educational goals of Rutgers School of Law–Newark. The policies and procedures of the Rutgers School of Law–Newark Alumni Association can be found in the bylaws. All Rutgers School of Law–Newark graduates are automatically members of the Alumni Association. There are no membership dues, although contributions are vital to support programs and events sponsored by the Alumni Association.

The association’s major event and fundraiser is the Annual Alumni Recognition Dinner held in the fall. At this event we honor distinguished alumnae/i and present the Fannie Bear Besser Award for Public Service. Proceeds from the Annual Alumni Recognition Dinner and your direct donations enable us to sponsor the annual Weintraub Lecture, the law school reception at the New Jersey State Bar Association and American Bar Association annual meetings, and other alumni networking events in New York and New Jersey. The Alumni Association also runs a Mentoring Program, and recognizes student achievement at graduation with the Justice Henry E. Ackerson, Jr. Prize, the Alumni Senior Prize, and the Eli Jarmel Memorial Prize.

Volunteers are the key to success of the Alumni Association. If you would like to get involved, please contact the president.
