Welcome to the APALSA website! Thank you for your interest in our
organization, one of the largest and most visible chapters of APALSA
in the Midwest. I hope you will use this site to learn about our
mission, upcoming events, members, and supporters.
APALSA strives to encourage a sense of community at Northwestern and
promote awareness of Asian Pacific American (APA) issues in the
greater Chicago legal community. As the number of APAs in law schools
increases, APALSA is committed to increasing the hiring and retention
of APAs in law firms nationwide.
We invite you to take a closer look at how APALSA:
- Builds and deepens knowledge about relevant issues through speaker
panels, debates, and other events featuring legal professionals,
academics, and other practitioners;
- Cultivates a sense of community through social and networking events;
- Develops the professional and leadership skills of APA students
through professional and academic development opportunities; and
- Serves the broader community through volunteering and advocacy.
In the coming months, we hope to provide our members with plentiful
opportunities for personal and professional growth. Finally, thank
you to our generous sponsors. You have helped make APALSA one of the
most active and prominent student groups at Northwestern Law.
We look forward to another exciting year!
Sincerely,
Jade Leung & Joanna Gau
Co-Presidents
