    Robert A. Clifford Sponsors Annual Clifford Symposium on Tort Law and Social Policy Since 1994

    Robert A. Clifford, founder and senior partner at Clifford Law Offices, has been the proud sponsor of the Tort Law and Social Policy Symposium at DePaul University since 1994. Bob is dedicated to the furtherance of the legal profession and understands the importance of providing a forum for relevant conversations surrounding topics that shape change in tort law.

    Hosted annually at the DePaul University College of Law, Bob and Clifford Law Offices bring together the best and brightest on a topic of interest to the public and that results in a special law review issue of articles by the academic and judicial participants. For more than 25 years, the firm has cultivated a tremendous collection of expert views and opinions across a broad spectrum of topics.
