Section VIII Student Organizations

Student clubs and organizations play a vital role at CUNY School of Law, enhancing both the social and educational experiences of the law school community. Managed by the Office of Student Affairs, Student Activities oversees the functioning and development of all student clubs and the Student Government, aiming to support their activities and achievements while providing assistance to their members.

The Law School offers a diverse range of student organizations that appeal to a wide array of interests and specialties. To gain official recognition, all student clubs and organizations must register annually with Student Activities and complete required training. Additionally, Student Activities coordinates Student Government elections and assignments to Law School Committees.

Student organizations must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the CUNY School of Law Student Handbook, the Student Activities Handbook, and the Bylaws of the City University of New York Board of Trustees.

Students with interests or missions not currently represented by existing organizations are encouraged to establish new clubs to pursue their specific goals. For more information on starting a club, please contact Student Activities at studentaffairs@law.cuny.edu.
