Students at GW Law are active and involved members of their academic
community. Over the years, they have established a number of
organizations that reflect their diverse interests and concerns. These
organizations play an important role beyond that of fostering
camaraderie.
By sponsoring speakers and panel discussions and
encouraging dialogue on a wide variety of legal issues, the activities
of the Law School's student organizations have become an important
extension of the curriculum. Through these organizations, students also
make significant contributions to the Washington, DC-area community.
