A $1 million pledge was made on behalf of Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers, P.C., a Chattanooga-based law firm, to support students at the University of Tennessee College of Law.
The gift will support scholarships for students interested in pursuing legal careers in advocacy, as well as the Douglas A. Blaze Leadership Scholarship.
“Robust scholarships are essential to attracting the best students nationwide,” said Lonnie T. Brown, Jr., dean and Elvin E. Overton distinguished professor of law.
“Summers, Rufolo & Rodgers, P.C.’s enduring generosity in support of future advocates has greatly bolstered Tennessee Law’s financial aid resources, lighting the way for many talented students to embark on successful and fulfilling litigation careers. We are deeply grateful for the firm’s continued support, which profoundly influences the lives of our graduates and the clients they represent.”
