Law school
teams
receive large gift
The UM School of Law has received its largest outright gift ever --
$750,000 that will be used to support the school's seven competitive student teams. The
gift was made by Billings attorney and 1974 UM law school graduate A. Clifford Edwards. Edwards'
gift, which creates the A. Clifford Edwards Advocacy Center Endowment, comes just weeks
after UM's student moot court team won the national championship. Over the years the law
school's academic teams have consistently performed well in regional, national and even
international competition.
Edwards' endowment will provide a steady stream of funding for travel, resource
materials, competition registrations and other expenses associated with fielding the UM
teams. It also will support the school's Advanced Trial Advocacy course, which Edwards has
helped teach on a volunteer basis since 1986.
