The Dean's Council of Firms is comprised of highly respected law firms with three or more Albany Law School alumni and support Albany Law School through the Law Firm Giving Program.
Members promote continued excellence in legal education through financial support. Gifts of every size are welcome, and come directly from the alumni employed by the firm, not the firm itself. Members of the Dean's Council of Firms provide key support for faculty, students and programs, strengthen alumni ties within the firm, and raise the alumni giving participation rate.
