Fuel Innovation in Legal Education

As the Dean’s strategic initiatives fund, the Amicus Fund provides the flexible resources necessary to strengthen our core programming and launch innovative projects. This support ensures Santa Clara Law remains at the forefront of legal education, preparing students for tomorrow's professional challenges. Key areas of impact include:

• Student Success – including scholarships and academic support resources
• Faculty Enrichment & Scholarship – attracting and retaining the best minds in the field
• Graduate Support Services – career services, CLE, and an active alumni network
• Experiential Learning – providing practical legal training to our students and offering valuable services to our wider community
• Next Practices – developing a curriculum that keeps our students at industry’s cutting edge

The Amicus Fund is a critical part of moving forward Dean Michael Kaufman's vision: that no student is denied a Santa Clara legal education because of financial need.
