This year, Colorado Law was able to offer scholarships, at some level, to 100% of continuing students who applied for our donor-funded awards.

That's possible only through the generous support of individuals, families, companies and organizations who recognize the longterm value of philanthropy and who want to see Colorado Law students succeed, professionally and personally.

It was a delight to celebrate our donors and scholarship recipients last week at the Scholarship+ Celebration. Read more and view photos:

Real cases. Real impact.

Student-attorneys working in Colorado Law’s nine clinics, like Louisa Wilson ’27, practice actual cases under the supervision of licensed attorneys.

Louisa made an extraordinary impact this summer as the Immigration Defense Clinic’s inaugural law clerk fellow.

From helping secure a client’s release from ICE detention to supporting a full docket of complex immigration cases, Louisa brought skill, compassion, and unwavering commitment to every matter she touched.

“I first met our client last fall, so seeing his case through from beginning to end was incredibly meaningful,” she said. “Knowing he’s back home with his family is really special. The clinic’s support — especially the guidance from our clinical director and staff attorney — helped us prepare a strong argument that ultimately won and secured his release.”

With a growing caseload, the Colorado Law clinical team is grateful for the addition of the summer law clerk position and our new Immigration Defense Clinic staff attorney, which allows the team to continue providing the support that clients deserve.
