With $20,000 projected in ticket sales, the commission received $5,000 from a series of law school organizations, as the Black Law School Students Association, the Committee on Sports and Entertainment Law,
HLCentral.com, the Recording Artists Project and the Saturday School all contributed.
The $15,000 from donors within the music industry made up the difference.
Second-year law student Aaron D. Rosenberg, co-director of the Recording Artists Project, headed the commission's legal committee, which oversaw all contracts related to the concert.

"We want bands here on a regular basis," she says. "We want to improve the social life."
