Spotlight on Our Legacy Sponsor: Cozen O’Connor!

We are honored to recognize Cozen O’Connor as a Legacy Sponsor for this year’s Liberty & Justice event. Their extraordinary $25,000 contribution reflects a deep-rooted commitment to the future of the legal profession and the success of our students.

Investing in the Next Generation: The Touro Connection

Cozen O’Connor’s partnership with Touro Law Center goes far beyond a single event. A cornerstone of their support is their dedicated investment in student scholarships. By removing financial barriers for aspiring attorneys, Cozen O’Connor is directly shaping a more diverse and accessible legal landscape. Their generosity ensures that the most promising legal minds have the resources they need to excel in their education and graduate ready to serve the public good.

A National Leader with a Local Heart

With 35 offices and a team of world-class professionals, Cozen O’Connor is a powerhouse in litigation, corporate law, intellectual property, and real estate. However, their national reach is balanced by a profound sense of local responsibility. Through the Cozen O’Connor Charitable Foundation, the firm ensures that every grant is backed by an attorney who is "closely" involved with the cause—serving as a board member, chair, or advisor. This means their support for Touro is backed by the personal time and advocacy of their talented staff.

Champions of Justice

The firm’s mission aligns seamlessly with our own through their robust pro bono initiatives. Under the guidance of a full-time Director of Pro Bono Engagement, Cozen O’Connor attorneys:

  • Support Immigrants & Refugees: Navigating the complex process of acquiring legal status.
  • Protect Veterans: Ensuring military personnel receive the benefits and legal protections they deserve.
  • Advocate for Disabilities: Securing appropriate housing accommodations and rights for those in need.

We are deeply grateful to Cozen O’Connor for their visionary leadership, their support of our students' dreams, and their tireless work in the pursuit of justice.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our sponsors. We value and appreciate your support!
