The Jessup 50th Anniversary Celebration was more than a night to remember the success of the Competition; it was this year’s chief fundraising effort for the next fifty years of the Jessup Program. Proceeds from the dinner will provide critical support to the Competition, including financial aid to teams who would not otherwise be able to participate in the Competition. Over the past five decades, the Jessup has engaged and inspired students in many countries where legal education is still in its infancy. As the Competition continues to grow, the contributions will help bring together students from all parts of the world for the cultural and education experience of a lifetime. A special thank you is owed to all who donated time and money to the Jessup 50th Anniversary Celebration.
