The Office of Student Affairs coordinates the following activities:
The Office of Student Affairs begins the fall semester for
first-year students with a program designed to offer an in-depth introduction
to the Law School and the fundamental elements of the study of law. Incoming
first-year students will receive more information about this program upon
acceptance.
At CUNY School of Law, the Student Government is an inclusive forum to
address students' needs and concerns. Twelve representatives are elected from
each class to represent the student body. Elections for second and third year
representatives are held in the spring and elections for first year
representatives are held in the fall. Any matriculated student, registered and
in good standing, is eligible to run for a Student Government position. The
Student Government elects students from within its ranks to serve on selected
Law School Committees.
The Director of Student Activities coordinates the elections for Student
Government and Law School Committees.
The Office of Student Affairs oversees registered student organizations.
Charles Johnson, Director of Student Activities, assists student organizations
with event planning and activities.
CUNY School of Law student organizations cover many
areas of interests, but students are encouraged to form and register new
organizations if a specific interest or mission is not reflected in any of the
existing organizations.
Consistent with CUNY Law's public service mission, the Law School provides students with ample opportunities to engage in pro bono service work. The students themselves are also very active in creating and participating in a range of pro bono activities throughout the year. Students collaborate with each other and with practicing lawyers, judges and legal services organizations to enhance access to legal representation, increase community awareness and understanding of the law and legal process, and to support community self-empowerment.
