Frank Hogan Society

An Inspiration Frank Hogan (1877-1944) graduated from the Law Center at the top of his class in 1902.  During his career, he founded the firm of Hogan & Hartson L.L.P., achieved a national reputation for his litigation skills, became known as a crusader for the protection of personal rights, and was elected president of the American Bar Association.  In addition to his passion for the law, Hogan was a dedicated advocate of the Law Center.  He returned to campus to teach, contributed to the Law Center Library collection, and served as president of the Georgetown University Alumni Association.  His vision, dedication, and mastery of the law have inspired generations of law students and lawyers alike.

Membership in the Hogan Society is extended to alumni, parents, and friends who make gifts to Georgetown University Law Center totaling $5,000 or more each year.  This support is the lifeblood of the school and provides the Dean with critical resources to address immediate needs.  Hogan Society members consistently demonstrate a heightened commitment to legal education and a belief in the mission of the Law Center.
