UMass Law Student NLG Chapter Update

UMass Law NLG has had an incredibly productive summer, and we anticipate a fall semester full of meaningful opportunities for public service! First and most notably, UMass Law NLG was selected to participate in NLG’s national conference in Birmingham. Our panel will consist of law school students and administrators drawing from their unique experiences to deconstructing barriers to law school education and hypothesizing practical solutions to those pervasive problems. Secondly, UMass Law NLG has begun the process of creating a legal kiosk in our community’s public library to provide accessible legal services and information. Thirdly, UMass Law NLG will organize a legal observer training session for our law students and to the broader UMass Dartmouth student body. Lastly, UMass Law NLG is coordinating with state and federal politicians to provide opportunities to advocate for more robust support for accessible, high-quality, public education.
