WELCOME!

As one of the largest law student organizations at Santa Clara University School of Law, we strive to act as a resource for students to help them enrich their law school experience. APALSA offers an internal mentor-mentee program where first-year law students are paired up with an upper division law student to offer advice and insights about the 1L experience. In addition, APALSA participates in an external mentorship program with the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Silicon Valley. Students have the opportunity to attend the Annual Bay Area APALSA Conference hosted by one of the 8 Northern California APALSA each year. Every year, this full-day conference highlights current legal issues facing the Asian Pacific American community and brings together law students from all over the Bay Area, as well as prominent Asian Pacific American attorneys. Throughout the year, we organize general meetings, lunch-time panels, cultural events, and community service projects. We also provide our members with many professional and social opportunities to meet other law students, attorneys, and judges in the greater Bay Area legal community.
