Abstract
Each year, third-year students with a demonstrated, ongoing commitment to Mock Trial will be considered for selection as Fellows. Selected students will receive a monetary award that can be used at their discretion and be recognized for their dedication to the program.
The gift will provide vital support for team site visits to observe trial attorneys in practice and for travel to competitions across the country. Through this investment, the Salvi family is strengthening Notre Dame Mock Trial’s national presence while advancing the Law School’s mission to prepare advocates who pursue justice with skill and integrity.

For decades, the Salvi family has embodied the mission of Notre Dame Law School: forming lawyers who are not only skilled professionals but also advocates for justice and the common good. Patrick A. Salvi ’78 J.D., alongside his sons Patrick A. Salvi II ’07 J.D., Brian L. Salvi ’09, ’13 J.D., and daughter-in-law Eirene N. Salvi ’15 J.D. have carried forward a commitment to the practice of trial law across generations. Through their nationally recognized firm, Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard, they have fought for injured victims across the country while mentoring the next generation of trial lawyers.
The Salvi family has played an instrumental role in strengthening the Mock Trial program at Notre Dame Law School. As students, the Salvis were leaders in the trial advocacy program. As alumni, they have returned as visiting faculty, mentors, and supporters, devoting their time, expertise, and resources to ensure that students gain the preparation they need to enter the courtroom with confidence and skill.
