CSU Cleveland-Marshall College of Law is pleased to announce our 2022 Hall of Fame honorees. The induction ceremony will be held on Friday, November 4 in the Moot Court Room.
The Hall of Fame was established in 2017 to honor distinguished alumni, community leaders, and former faculty and staff whose accomplishments contribute to the success and prestige of our law school. This year’s celebration is special since 2022 marks the law school’s 125th anniversary.
The Hall of Fame celebration is the only annual fundraising event sponsored by the law school, and raises much-needed funds for scholarships for our students.
