Whom We Honor
The Syracuse Law Honors are awards presented on behalf of the Syracuse University Law Alumni Association (SULAA) and the College of Law to celebrate the distinguished achievements in any field of endeavor by living members of the Syracuse Law family–alumni, current and former faculty and staff, students, parents, and friends–for service to the College of Law, the legal profession, Syracuse University, or the world at large.
The Nomination Process
The Syracuse University Law Alumni Association seeks nominations from alumni, the College of Law community, and friends, identifying deserving members of our community to honor.
