Ignite Law

Ignite is a student-led fundraising competition where UConn School of Law student organizations raise money to help open doors to the experiences, opportunities, and networks that shape their legal education and future careers.

Your support can help fund public interest law fellowships, student organization travel, moot court and mock trial experiences, professional conferences, service opportunities, and more — giving students meaningful ways to grow, advocate, serve, and lead.

Together, these experiences help shape thoughtful advocates, ethical leaders, and problem-solvers who are prepared to make a difference in their communities and beyond.

Thank you for putting students first and advancing the Because of UConn campaign. The world moves forward because of UConn, and all we do is possible because of YOU.
