The Iowa Law School Foundation (ILSF) is responsible for the quality of legal education that the University of Iowa College of Law provides to its students. The ILSF is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors consisting of graduates and friends of the College of Law, law faculty, law students, and the dean of the college. These individuals meet twice a year at the Boyd Law Building to discuss alumni relations, fundraising, endowment management, and program support.

Building on its invaluable support for student financial aid, excellence in law teaching, cutting edge legal scholarship, and professional service to the Iowa bar and beyond, the Law Foundation will no doubt continue to be a key force in sustaining and enhancing the College’s national reputation as a top ten public law school for the foreseeable future.
