The Law School at the University of South Dakota will now be known as “The University of South Dakota Knudson School of Law.”

The name change is the result of a twelve and a half million-dollar gift from T. Denny Sanford on behalf of long time Sioux Falls lawyer Dave Knudson.

Knudson says solving problems is what lawyers do…

Knudson says the financial gift will be long lasting….

Law School Dean Neil Fulton says the gift more than doubles the schools endowment….

Knudson has been Sanford’s lawyer for decades. He was previously a state Senator and was Chief of Staff for former Governor Bill Janklow.
