Welcome back, DLSA! DLSA Kick-Off 5:30pm Thursday, September 20 Room 5240 Come hear what we're planning for the semester, eat pizza, chat about ideas and meet the 1L class. We are having a meeting Thursday night at 5:30 that is a general introduction to the Democratic Law Students' Association. We will talk about our coming agenda and plans for this semester and next. We're moving into one of the earliest and most vigorous primary seasons ever and the DLSA will be involved in it through the whole election. We will also elect a 1L student as a secretary for the organization. This is a voting position on the board of directors so is a great way to get started if you're interested in leadership roles. Responsibilities include taking minutes, publishing them, managing the e-mail list, and posting announcements to the DLSA blog. We look forward to seeing you all!

Great Year!

The DLSA is working to provide absentee ballot request forms to all law students. If you don't have access to one of these forms, you can print one at the site below. This can save you a trip to the polls on voting day and let you vote while wearing anything that you want.
