Office of Student Affairs


The Office of Student Affairs at Yale Law School helps law students navigate their legal education. The office provides academic advising, supports student groups and journals, promotes student life and community building activities, and acts as the primary resource for students who are seeking to find balance in their law school experience.

Diversity is important to the Yale Law School community because exposure to the widest variety of perspectives and experiences is essential to the practice and study of law—whether it be understanding the law, defending it, or changing it.”
