Cady Cup Tournament

Compete in a golf tournament against Drake Law School and raise funds to support Iowa Legal Aid on Monday, May 19!

The annual Cady Cup Tournament is an event for alumni, faculty, staff, and students of Iowa Law and Drake Law School. All are invited to participate—regardless of skill level—to show support for their law school and raise funds for Iowa Legal Aid. The Cady Cup, formerly known as the Dean's Cup, was renamed in 2019 in honor of the late Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady, LW'78.

The event includes two formats: match play and best shot. A lawyer who is not a graduate of either law school may participate in the best shot format by declaring temporary allegiance to one of the two schools at the time of registration.

The registration fee is partially tax deductible. You may register online, or you can print and mail a registration form to Iowa Legal Aid.
