APALSA, the Asian Pacific American Law Students Association, was established in the spring of 1982 and is open to all students interested in Asian American issues. APALSA serves to bring greater awareness and deeper understanding of political, cultural, historic, and legal roles of Asian Americans. To this endeavor, the organization sponsors debates, features speakers, and hosts public events. APALSA also attempts to bridge the gap between the law school community and the community at large by providing opportunities for volunteerism and social activism. APALSA facilitates programs to help members adjust and acclimate to the Northwestern University Law School environment and the legal profession by offering programs addressing academic concerns and career choices. APALSA also serves as a forum to discuss the cultural concerns of Asian Americans working in the American legal profession. In addition, APALSA seeks to establish a national network of exchange among Asian American law students and attorneys.
