Journals & Publications Support

With more than 50 official student organizations and nine different journals, there are a number of ways for students to get involved outside of the classroom at Yale Law School.  Learn more about our student organizations and publications by exploring our site, or find out about funding and competitions or other opportunities that are open to YLS students. 

Current students may also access the Student Activities Resources portal on Yale Connect (login required) which contains information to help students engage in various extracurricular activities as well as connect with other community members (i.e., students, faculty, and staff). 

How To Get Involved

Student Journals & Publications

The Office of Student Affairs provides administrative support to the subject-specific journals, including assistance with publication processes, budget monitoring and management, and web site maintenance.

Student Organizations

The list of student organizations changes every year, based on the activities and interests of current students. The Law School provides a budget, shared storage space, and administrative resources to approved student organizations. 

Student Organization and Journal Fair

Each fall, Yale Law School hosts a Student Organization and Journals Fair. At the event, each group sets up tables and meets with new students so they can learn more about the range of activities available.

We, as lawyers, can be builders too. We can use our tools to build a society in which every member of the new generation can celebrate her graduation — not only with joy but with well-founded hope for the future.”
