Student Government & Organizations

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.


Pro Bono/Public Service Opportunities

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.
