Please inform your APALSA of our web site to get more information, including membership applications. Membership is complimentary for law students.

We host a variety of social and educational activities, including a mentor-mentee program and an Annual Law Student Scholarship Award. We also host an Annual Banquet in the Spring. Previous speakers at thatevent include Justice Fernande Duffly, attorney Ralph Martin formerly chair of the Judicial Nominating Committee), Chief Justice Margaret Marshall, and prominent civil rights attorney Dale Minami successfully represented Fred Korematsu in getting Mr. Korematsu's 1944 conviction overturned some 40 years later). Please do not hesitate to contact me, any board member, or the AALAM liaison that is contacting you. We look forward to meeting you and your fellow APALSA members.
