## Resource

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. More than cash, it’s a reunion—alumni are invited to invest in the future, even contributing to a $29K scholarship fund marking 29 years since graduation. All funds will be transparently managed, audited, and tracked in a dedicated account under NMLS Foundation oversight. Beyond scholarships, the initiative funds exam support, mentorship, and advocacy competitions—ensuring today’s students have the tools to thrive tomorrow.
