The University of Miami School of Law has received an endowed gift from the Sidley Austin Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the global law firm of Sidley Austin LLP.
The gift creates the Sidley Austin Foundation Endowed Book Award in Constitutional Law, fostering academic excellence in constitutional law and providing equal awards each year to the top three students excelling in this field. It follows other scholarship endowments from the Sidley Austin Foundation for third-year students serving as editor-in-chief of the University of Miami Law Review and at the Business Law Review.
“We are grateful to Sidley Austin for this endowed gift,” said Patricia Sanchez Abril, dean, School of Law. “In an era where constitutional questions are at the forefront of public discourse, these awards will encourage our students to engage deeply with the subject and recognize outstanding achievement in the classroom.”
“We are pleased to support law students who excel in this field and will help shape the future of the profession,” said Yvette Ostolaza, Sidley’s Management Committee chair and University of Miami School of Law graduate. “We have been deeply involved in the Miami community since we opened our Miami office three years ago, and this and other Sidley endowments to the University of Miami underline our commitment and support to the school and the community.
“Sidley has a strong Constitutional law practice at all levels, including the United States Supreme Court where our lawyers have made nearly 200 arguments,” Ostolaza added.
Sidley Austin has built a reputation as a leader in constitutional law, with a distinguished history of representing clients before the U.S. Supreme Court and other appellate courts.
The firm’s gift reflects its dedication to supporting the next generation of legal minds who will shape the interpretation and application of constitutional principles in the years ahead.
