Law Alumni Council

The Law Alumni Council (LAC) was founded in 1983 and focuses on two strategic objectives in its role of supporting UF Law:

• Alumni Relations
  To provide networking opportunities that support increased engagement between the College of Law and its alumni.
• Campus Outreach
  To assist in the professional development of UF Law students through recruitment efforts, mentoring initiatives, and campus programming.

Our Membership committee serves a critical role in vetting LAC nominations and recommending top candidates for membership. The 2023 nomination and application deadlines will be announced in the coming months.
