Chapter Luncheon Sponsors

2024-2025 Chapter Luncheon Series Sponsorship Program

We are extremely grateful for all firms and vendors who support our efforts by committing as Chapter Luncheon Sponsors. Your sponsorship sustains the efforts of this chapter to fulfill its mission of elevating the bench and bar. Throughout the year, we orchestrate numerous educational and social events beyond the luncheon series which are made possible through your commitment. Additionally, your sponsorship allows the chapter to be more inclusive and extend our benefits – for free – to all law students, and at a great discount to newer lawyers, federal employees, federal clerks, and retirees. Simply put, we couldn’t do what we do without our luncheon series sponsors!
