Our Barristers Society is an exclusive group of our most dedicated supporters that have made a gift to RWU Law for three years in a row or more.

When you make a gift, you’ll impact a whole new class of law students. Your gift will help support and expand our rich array of live-client learning experiences at RWU Law – including pro bono projects, clinical externships, in-house clinical programs, field clinics, practice-based skills classes and more. As an alum, you know these programs help us prepare our students to be practice-ready lawyers.
