The Arizona State University Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law has received $2 million from the Steele Foundation—an Arizona-based charitable organization focused on education and health.

The funds will endow a chair in civil and criminal law, named for foundation chairman and chief executive officer Daniel Cracchiolo. The Steele Foundation gift is the largest the law school has ever received for an endowed chair.

A graduate of the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, Cracchiolo co-founded Phoenix law firm Burch & Cracchiolo in 1970.
