The UMKC Law Alumni Association, the primary friend-raising organization for the law school, was revitalized in 1992 as a division of the university-wide Alumni Association. It strengthens and extends the educational mission of the law school and its energies are devoted to bridging the passage between student and professional life, encouraging service and illustrating a commitment to a society based on law and justice. The Law Alumni Association sponsors events that facilitate student-faculty-alumni interaction.

Annual activities include alumni recognition events; assistance in student recruitment, mentoring and advising; assisting with social and professional activities connected to local and state bar associations; support to student programs and activities.
