15th Annual Dean’s Cup

The 15th Annual Dean’s Cup golf event is scheduled for May 20, 2019 at the Amana Colonies Golf Course. The event includes two formats – match play and best shot. 

This event is for all law graduates, faculty, staff and students of Drake Law School and the Iowa College of Law – of every skill level – to support their law school. A lawyer who is not a graduate of either school may participate in the best shot format by declaring temporary allegiance to one of the two schools at the time of registration.

Over 100 lawyers and judges from around the state participate in this event. The Drake team Captain is Chief Justice Mark Cady, while the Iowa team Captain is Judge Eliza Ovrom.

The proceeds from the event go to Iowa Legal Aid, which provided Hope, Dignity and Justice to nearly 38,000 Iowans in 2018, but still had to turn away or underserve at least 10,000 others. Click here for the registration/sponsor form.

Grant Award from Regional Development Authority

Iowa Legal Aid is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $11,224 grant from the Regional Development Authority for its “Improving Efficiencies Through Technology” project.  Funds will be used to obtain increased bandwidth for our office in Davenport, as well as equip the office with WiFi. This is the first phase of a three-phase project Iowa Legal Aid is undertaking to upgrade its technology in order to improve the provision of civil legal assistance to low-income Scott County residents.

Support from Principal

We are happy to announce that Iowa Legal Aid recently received a grant from the Principal Foundation. With these funds, Iowa Legal Aid is providing legal assistance that enables low-income Central Iowans to “learn more, earn more, and save more,” making them more financially stable.
