Summary
The Class of 1997 at Norman Manley Law School is launching a bold $55 million fundraising drive in just eight weeks to transform legal education—boosting student support, mentorship, and institutional capacity. The campaign kicked off with over $3 million pledged, including $2.5 million from TWP Attorneys-at-Law and $250K each from San Merna Paper Products and Auto King Jamaica.
