The Justinian Law Society represents students either having
Italian heritage or an interest in Italian culture and values.
Activities are designed to achieve the educational, cultural,
professional, charitable and social well being of members and the
entire law school community. It seeks to promote the history and
accomplishments of great Italians and Italian-Americans. The
Society sponsors informative and entertaining speakers, fundraisers
and social gatherings. It also organizes participation in regional
and national organizations that provide members with valuable
networking opportunities. Activities have included a sports
memorabilia auction that raised over $6,000 for St. Jude Children’s
Research Hospital. Additionally, the Justinians select an
Italian-American who has made a significant contribution to the
legal profession and Italian culture and community. The individual
is honored at the annual alumni dinner and presented with the
Vacarius Award named after the celebrated Roman jurist.
