ASU Law is shaping communities through law and leadership
Rooted in ASU’s Charter, ASU Law takes fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities we serve.
Justice Sandra Day O’Connor believed the law is most powerful when it serves the people. Her legacy of civic engagement, public service and commitment to justice inspires ASU Law’s deep-rooted dedication to community impact.
From expanding access to legal resources through our clinics and pro bono initiatives to fostering civil discourse and leadership in our students, we embody her vision of a legal system that uplifts and empowers.
ASU Law is dedicated to empowering communities through legal assistance, advocacy and access to justice. Initiatives like Native Vote promote civic engagement, ensuring Indigenous communities have the resources and knowledge to participate in the electoral process. Through legal clinics, ASU Law delivers hands-on legal support to underserved populations at little to no cost while providing students educational and leadership opportunities.
ASU Law is also committed to fostering meaningful connections between students, faculty and the community through service, support and engagement. Pro bono work, legal clinics, library resources and public service initiatives provide direct support to those in need, while events and initiatives bring together legal professionals, students and the public to discuss pressing issues and drive positive change. By creating opportunities for collaboration and dialogue, ASU Law strengthens its role as a hub for legal education and community impact.
