Mission
The Evening Law Student Association (ELSA) is dedicated to providing useful professional, academic, and social opportunities for evening students at the Washington College of Law (WCL). ELSA also is committed to increasing the awareness, interaction and integration of evening students with all members of the WCL community. Some of the issues we focus on are:
- Evening course selections and scheduling
- Evening hours at WCL administration offices
- Gaining legal experience as an evening student
- Law as a second career
- Bar exam preparation
-
Networking opportunities for current and graduated evening students

Events
ALL evening students are invited to attend the general body meeting on Thursday, September 4 from 8:00 to 9:00 PM (location to follow in The Docket). There will be a panel of current students to talk about succeeding in law school and answer your questions about balancing work with studying, journals, externships, clinics, and everything else. We also want to hear from evening students about what events you ELSA should to organize this year. Come meet fellow evening students and have some free pizza!
