William Payson Richardson

The Richardson Society recognizes and celebrates Brooklyn Law School’s most dedicated alumni and friends whose cumulative gifts, pledges, and estate commitments total $500,000 or more.

Named in honor of William Payson Richardson, the Law School’s co-founder and dean from 1901-1945, the Society reflects his legacy of visionary leadership and enduring commitment to the institution.

Richardson Society members have demonstrated exceptional generosity through annual giving, major gifts, planned gifts, or a combination of commitments over time, helping to strengthen Brooklyn Law School and advance its mission for future generations.
