BOULDER - The name on the outside reads the Wolf Law Building, named after a generous family who helped pay for the $46 million project. However, the real bulk of the money came from the students. Plans had been in the works since 1998 to replace the old, dilapidated law building. However, in 2001, with a struggling state economy, legislators pulled the funding for construction of the new building. That prompted student government leaders to push for the yearly $400 construction fee that will be collected over the next 20 years to pay for the new law building and four other buildings around the Boulder campus. The Wolf Law Building is now the first student-financed law school in the nation, boasting state-of-the-art classrooms, a three-story law library, and mock courtrooms.
