The Harpur Law Council of Binghamton University was formed in 1995 to serve the needs
and interests of Binghamton University alumni attorneys and pre-law students.
Our Mission:
The goal of the Binghamton University Harpur Law Council is to strengthen Binghamton
University's mission and tradition of academic excellence by advising the dean of
Harpur College on matters regarding academic issues and programs relevant to the legal
profession. Working closely with the Harpur College Dean, the Harpur Law Council seeks
to:
- Establish an effective network of University law alumni
- Mentor students and alumni interested in law careers
- Recruit outstanding students to attend Binghamton University and Harpur College
- Advice Harpur College on academic issues and programs relevant to the legal profession
- Increase financial support for special projects that include public interest law internships
Networking and Mentoring:
The council committee members have established an effective network of University law alumni. The Council mentors
students and alumni interested in law careers, recruits outstanding students to attend
Binghamton University and Harpur College, provides guidance and advice to Harpur College
on academic issues and programs relevant to the legal profession and contributes financial
support for special projects that include public interest law internships, support for the mock trial team, and other mentoring and development programs.
Law alumni volunteers are encouraged to share their skills and resources through programs
such as alumni-student networking events, lawyers' roundtables and law-career forums
to support and enhance the educational experience for our students. For more information
