Join the ALL RISE SOCIETY

In late 2018, ILSA launched the All Rise Society, an exclusive giving society for the most distinguished members of our Jessup Competition Community. All Rise Society members form the backbone of the Jessup Competition. Your support will ensure our continued ability to provide law students around the globe with the chance to connect with some of the world’s greatest legal minds, prepare them to enter the most competitive ranks of the legal profession, and nurture their commitment to the peaceful resolution of conflict through the rule of law.

New Professionals

Friends of the Jessup who are less than five years out of law school or graduate school can join the All Rise Society at a discounted "New Professionals" level. This level is intended to encourage our newest Friends of Jessup and alumni to stay involved and support the Jessup at a more accessible level.

As a Member of the All Rise Society, you will be entitled to special recognition and benefits including:

  • • Invitations to exclusive events throughout the year
  • • A commemorative pin for every $6,000 pledge or donation made
  • • Recognition in Jessup and ILSA promotional materials and on the ILSA website

Members are asked to pledge at least $6,000 over 5 years, or $1,800 over three years for New Professionals, in support of the Jessup Competition.
