The Mission That Grounds Us
Trial Lawyers College is dedicated to training and educating lawyers and judges who are committed to the jury system and to representing and obtaining justice for individuals: the poor, the injured, the forgotten, the voiceless, the defenseless and the damned, and to protecting the rights of such people from corporate and government oppression.
In all of its activities, TLC will foster and nourish an open atmosphere of caring for people regardless of their race, age, creed, religion, national origin, physical abilities, gender or sexual orientation.
We do not offer training for those lawyers who represent government, corporations or large business interests.
Support Our Mission
At TLC we’re proud to be funded entirely by the generosity of our students, alumni, and individual supporters. We do not accept money or contributions from federal or state governments.
Many employers offer matching gift programs and will match donations made by employees—or their spouses or partners. Check with your employer to see if your gift to TLC could go even further.
Have Questions?
Our Executive Director, Becky Barlow, would be glad to speak with you about ways to give. Email her at Becky@triallawyerscollege.org or call the office at (307) 217-6714.
A Simple Way to Make a Big Impact Now and for the Future of TLC
A Note from Jerry Perry, TLC Alum, Past President F-Warriors Board, and TLC Faculty Member
I’ve been supporting TLC through Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) since I began drawing from my IRA. It’s simple, impactful, and a great way to contribute if you're still practicing and at the age where you’re required to withdraw Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). I encourage other Warriors to consider doing the same.
Here’s how it works:
- If you have a traditional IRA, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, or an employer-sponsored retirement plan like a 401(k), you’ll eventually need to start withdrawing RMDs each year.
- You can make a QCD directly to Trial Lawyers College, a 501(c)(3) organization, from your traditional IRA, inherited IRA, or inactive SEP plan.
- The IRA custodian sends the funds directly to TLC (via check or electronic transfer). Because the money never passes through your hands, the QCD reduces your tax liability.
To count toward your RMD for the year, the QCD must be made by Dec. 31 of that tax year.

Pay It Forward
When you contribute to the TLC Scholarship Fund, you’re helping a fellow lawyer experience the life-changing power of the TLC Method. Your gift doesn’t stop there. Many scholarship recipients go on to support future students themselves. It’s more than a donation—it’s a ripple effect of justice.
