Student Awards

Class of 2025 Justice Center Graduating Student Award winners Eliza Levy, Alice Min, and Cate Byrne

The Justice Center promotes equal justice at Texas Law and seeks to build the law school’s public interest community. In spring 2026, the Justice Center will honor up to three graduating students for outstanding contributions to building and supporting Texas Law’s public interest community and the culture of service.

“Public interest” is broadly defined to include pro bono, nonprofit, government, legislative, and other not for profit sectors. The Justice Center is eager to recognize students who have provided extraordinary leadership, mentorship, or support to their fellow public-interest minded students or who have otherwise helped strengthen the law school’s commitment to service. The award recipients will each receive $500 as well as other recognitions.

Students graduating in December 2025, May 2026, or August 2026 are eligible for this award. The selection committee will consider student applications and peer nominations.
