WELCOME

This handbook describes Yale Law School and Yale University policies & procedures which apply to all recognized YLS student organizations & journals. It contains information that will serve as a guide to your organization's activities, including event planning. Please refer to this information throughout the year and direct all members of your organization to this handbook.

We expect you to treat your organization like a start up company - where you are taking initiative to create a website, organize your communications, and think strategically about how you want to portray your group within the Law School and outside of the Law School.  This handbook is posted to the OSA page on YaleConnect to make it accessible to you 24/7 for your planning purposes and we are happy to assist every step of the way!

Please note that some of the policies and procedures in the handbook are subject to change. Please check YaleConnect for the most current version of this handbook.

If you have any questions about the information provided here or otherwise related to student organizations, please contact The Office of Student Affairs "OSA" at osa@yale.edu or 203-432-7979.  OSA is a resource for all student organizations and we look forward to working with you this year!
