Student Organizations

The list of student organizations changes every year, based on the activities and interests of current students. The Law School provides a budget, shared storage space, and administrative resources to approved student organizations.

Students should view the Office of Student Affairs portal in YaleConnect for guidelines and procedures for getting involved in various student activities, including student organizations.

All YLS student groups must be open to all YLS students.
