Request for Your Help with the 2019 Public Interest Scavenger Hunt
The Law School has launched a new annual tradition to celebrate our community’s commitment to serving the public interest: the Public Interest Scavenger Hunt. Many members of our faculty and staff have donated their time to serve as “live clues” during the Hunt and have donated prizes for the winning teams. As we continue and build upon the tradition this year, we could once again use your support.
