A distinguished alumnus of George Washington Law School, Oliver Gasch had contact with the Georgetown University Law Center throughout his career. As U.S. District Attorney for the District of Columbia, he suggested that the city's law schools get involved in legal aid efforts. Georgetown and Dean Paul Dean took him up on it and with an anonymous donation in the name of Judge E. Barrett Prettyman, the Prettyman Fellows program began in 1960. Gasch was honored by the Georgetown Law Center Legal Aid Society in 1961 for his contributions. And, while in private practice from 1961 - 1965, Gasch served on the Georgetown Law Center Dean's Council.
The following newspaper clippings and photographs detail some of his activities at the Law Center:
