Each year, the CMLAA hosts what has been called the largest legal function in the State of Ohio, our Annual Recognition Luncheon (ARL).  Both of our two distinguished alums are being honored for their commitments to the CMLAA, contributions to Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and career accomplishments within our legal community.  We are looking forward to the 2021 luncheon and showcasing both of our deserving honorees. 

Support the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association and its Scholarship Fund by securing your sponsorship, ad or ticket, or by making a donation. Net proceeds benefit scholarship funds for Cleveland-Marshall Law students.
