About the ARL

Each year, the CSU Law Alumni Association hosts what has been called the largest legal function in the State of Ohio, our Annual Recognition Luncheon (ARL). The ARL is an award and scholarship event that was established in 1962 to honor outstanding alumni of the Cleveland State University College of Law.

Our distinguished alums are honored for their commitments to the Alumni Association, contributions to Cleveland State University College of Law and career accomplishments within our legal community. 

We are looking forward to this year’s ARL and showcasing our deserving honorees. 

Support the CSU Law Alumni Association and its Scholarship Fund by securing your sponsorship or by making a donation. Net proceeds benefit scholarship funds for Cleveland State University College of Law students.
