We, the Asian Pacific American students at the Santa Clara University School of Law, in order to promote awareness to the faculty, staff, alumni and students of the School of Law to our needs and objectives, in recognition of our members in the legal community and for the support of Asian Pacific American students enrolled in the School of Law, established APALSA. Although APALSA recognizes the importance and strength of each individual’s national identity, a primary mission of APALSA is to unite members of the Asian Pacific American and APALSA community.
