The National LGBTQ+ Bar’s Law Student Congress is one of the only national LGBTQ+ law student organizations in the nation. The Law Student Congress promotes regional and national interaction between LGBTQ+ law students and lawyers and helps LGBTQ+ students build contacts within the profession. It also engages in activism of concern to law students and holds biannual meetings open to all LGBTQ+  and ally law students.

Administration

The Law Student Congress is led by an Executive Board, with either one Chair or two Co-Chairs, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and a number of at-large Board Members.  The Executive Board sets the agenda for the Law Student Congress, in conjunction with and with the support of the Policy Counsel, Mari Nemec, and, Chief Program & Policy Officer, Judi O’Kelley, of the National LGBTQ+ Bar.

The Executive Board meets on a monthly basis from August through June.  The LSC also holds an annual meeting of the Congress in person during the National LGBTQ+ Bar’s Lavender Law® Conference and Career Fair, and at least one virtual mid-year meeting open to all student members of the National LGBTQ+ Bar.  Any Law School Affiliate chair or any active law student member of the National LGBTQ+ Bar may contact the Chair/Co-Chairs or the Secretary to request a special meeting.
