Requirements for Law School Student Organizations

Law School Student Organizations must meet the following requirements.
  1. Be related to student life in the Law School. 
  2. Be composed of at least 75% Law Students (including JD, LLM, and SJD students). You may choose to include undergraduate students or graduate students from other departments in your organization, but 75% of the membership must be currently enrolled in the JD, LLM, or SJD program. 
  3. Complete annual student organization re-registration with the UW Office of Student Organizations, Leadership, & Involvement (SOLI). 
  4. Meet with the Assistant Director of Student Life annually. The Assistant Director of Student Life will provide a deadline for the annual meeting each summer - typically the annual meeting will take place between August and October. 
  5. Attend the Student Org Leader Training each semester. The Assistant Director of Student Life will host a training at the start of the fall semester, and at the end of the spring semester. Dates will be communicated by email. 
  6. Law School Student Organizations must have an advisor. Your advisor will preferably be a faculty or staff member of the Law School, but can be a faculty member from another campus department, or even a local professional passionate about your organization's mission. All advisors must meet the RSO Volunteer Advisor Requirements as defined by SOLI. 

Failure to meet the above requirements may result in loss of benefits such as room reservations and storage space in the Law School.
