Employer Deadline for 2026 Law Grads Interview Program

Greetings,

Arizona Law is committed to keeping legal education within reach for our students. In February, our dedicated community of alumni and friends can help make that possible by contributing during Giving Day. All gifts this year will support students.

Read more below about some ongoing initiatives to help future lawyers achieve their goals.

Read on,

Jason

University of Arizona Law is asking the LawCat community to show your Wildcat love by contributing during Giving Day, a 24-hour fundraising effort in support of students and the university starting from noon on February 11 to noon on February 12.

This year, every Giving Day gift to University of Arizona Law is focused on supporting our students. Your generosity ensures that we are able to train the next generation of leaders and lawyers and allows us to provide a modern, nimble legal education of the highest quality. A legal education is a life-changing experience, and with your support, we can give our students the resources they need to transform their passions and skills into fulfilling careers.  

This Giving Day, Arizona Law is asking for gifts to support:   

Huerta Scholars Program

Support the next generation of Indigenous lawyers attending University of Arizona Law.

The Huerta Scholarship was established in 2014 in honor of Judge Lawrence Huerta (’53) to provide financial support to Indigenous law students attending the University of Arizona College of Law.

Judge Huerta, a member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe, was the first Native American student to graduate from University of Arizona Law and be licensed to practice law in Arizona. The Huerta Scholarship continues his legacy of breaking barriers and paving new paths for future generations.

“The Huerta Scholarship allows people like me to pursue higher education while balancing the demands of a multigenerational family. I am deeply grateful to the donors whose generosity helps students like me turn perseverance into purpose,” says Huerta Scholar Tessa Hanson-Vargas.  

Justice Advocates Coalition Fellowship Program

(supported by the Toni M. Massaro Public Interest Student Fellowship Endowment)

Empower law students pursuing unpaid summer positions in public interest work.   

The Justice Advocates Coalition (JAC) is a student-run organization that provides stipends to qualified students who accept unpaid summer positions with nonprofit law organizations.  

Students launched the Justice Advocates Coalition in 2017 with the dual goals of empowering marginalized communities and supporting University of Arizona Law students pursuing careers in public interest law.  

Gifts to JAC fellowships are made through the Toni M. Massaro Public Interest Student Fellowship Endowment, honoring Dean Emerita Toni Massaro’s extraordinary commitment to public interest law, legal education and student mentorship. Her leadership and values continue to shape generations of Arizona Law students, and this endowment ensures that students can pursue meaningful public interest work regardless of financial barriers.

“JAC is about giving to its core,” says faculty advisor and Dean Emerita Toni Massaro. “Students work to raise awareness of, and funds for public interest law work. Every summer, JAC provides grants to assist fellow students who do unpaid legal work for a range of public interest organizations. Your support of them makes this possible. And few things our students do here make me prouder of Arizona Law.”

General Student Scholarships  

Arizona Law is committed to making legal education affordable, ensuring our students can follow their passions. With your help, we can remove financial barriers and put the dream of a legal career within reach for every student.  

“During my admissions process, I was very worried about financing my legal education. Arizona Law offered me a generous scholarship which has had a significant impact on my legal education. I am grateful for my scholarship because it alleviated my financial stress and allowed me to focus on my studies,” says third-year law student Maya Davidson, a Dean’s Achievement and Law Grad Tuition Scholar.

Not everyone loves Valentine’s Day. On the other hand, I think we can all agree on how important it is to show some love for our up-and-coming LawCats on Giving Day. Whether roses and chocolate hearts are part of your February plans or not, I hope you’ll consider supporting Arizona Law students.

Onward,

Jason
