Chapman University School of Law is being renamed The Dale E. Fowler School of Law following a $55 million donation from its new namesake. The gift appears to be the second-largest ever to a U.S. law school, after a donation of more than $100 million to the University of Arizona's law school in the late 1990s by alumnus and broadcasting executive James E. Rogers.
Fowler is a real estate developer who made his fortune in residential and industrial real estate development primarily in Orange County, Calif., where Chapman is located. He is not an alumnus of the law school, but did graduate from Chapman University at the same time that he was launching his real estate business. The Fowler’s two children also graduated from Chapman University.
