Come out for dinner, lawn games, and a relaxed evening away from the library before the semester picks up. Friends, family, and dogs are all welcome.
RSVP is required, including for any guests you bring. Please list every person in your RSVP so we can order enough food and plan the space accordingly.
Questions can be directed to the SBA at any time. We look forward to seeing everyone at Himmel Park.
SBA 1L Delegate Elections
1Ls — it's your time to get involved!
Run for 1L Delegate and represent your small section in SBA this year.
Your 1L Delegates are your small section's voice in the Student Bar Association. 1L Delegates carry your classmates' questions, concerns, and ideas into the room where SBA makes decisions about student funding, programming, and school policy. It's a chance to meet people outside your section, work alongside upper-level student leaders and administrators, and help shape what your first year actually looks like rather than waiting to see what it turns out to be. No prior student government experience is needed. If you're willing to show up for the people sitting around you in Torts, you're qualified.
Applications are due Tuesday, September 1, and voting will take place September 2–10. Each small section will elect 2 delegates.

SBA Volleyball
The Student Bar Association is kicking off the semester with a night of sand volleyball, and everyone is invited. Whether you played in undergrad or have never set foot on a court, this is a low-pressure, all-skill-levels event built around meeting people rather than keeping score. Teams will be put together on the spot, so there's no need to sign up with a group — just show up and jump in.
It's also a chance to meet the SBA officers outside of class. We'll be there all evening to introduce ourselves, answer questions about what SBA does, and share what's coming up this year. Free refreshments will be provided; bring a friend or come solo, and stay as long as you'd like.
Wednesday, August 26 · 6:30 PM
615 N Park Ave, Tucson, AZ 85721
The sand courts are located between the Global Center and the Sonora Dorm.
We hope to see you there!

Kick off the school year with the Student Bar Association at A Night at The Maverick! Join us on Thursday, August 27th at 8 PM at The Maverick, one of Tucson's favorite spots for live music and line dancing, located at 6622 E Tanque Verde Rd.
Whether you're a seasoned two-stepper or you've never set foot on a dance floor, this is the perfect chance to unwind, meet your classmates, and start the semester off right. Dust off your boots, grab your friends, and come enjoy a night of good music and good times. We can't wait to see you there!
A Taste of the UA Law Community

Whether you're a brand-new 1L or a returning student, come mingle with classmates and connect with org leaders from across the law school. Grab a slice and come say hi — we can't wait to meet you!
$100 Parking Lot Reimbursements
Through a collaboration with the Parking & Transportation Office, the Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) is offering $100 discounts on annual lot parking permits for the 2026–27 academic year — and law students are eligible to apply.
The discount applies only to lot parking contracts; garage permits do not qualify. You may apply whether you still need to purchase your lot permit or have already bought one.
The application is a short questionnaire that includes a brief statement on how the discount would benefit your graduate experience. Applications open August 4, 2026, at 9:00 AM MST.

Arizona Law Benchmates: Mentorship Program
The Arizona Law Benchmates: Mentorship Program connects incoming 1Ls with experienced 2L and 3L student mentors to help ease the transition into law school. Mentors and mentees are paired based on factors such as background, interests, and professional goals, creating meaningful connections within the Arizona Law community.
This is a flexible, low-commitment program designed to provide incoming students with a trusted resource for questions, advice, and support throughout their first year. Whether discussing classes, student organizations, career opportunities, or simply navigating law school life, mentors help incoming students feel welcomed and prepared for success.
We encourage all upper-level students to consider serving as mentors and helping to make the transition to Arizona Law a positive and rewarding experience.
