Law Students for Law Students (LSLS) is a new student organization dedicated to providing support for law students through peer counseling and mentoring. Peer counselors will offer free, confidential counseling services in an empathetic and non-judgmental manner. LSLS peer counselors will receive clinical training from a professional psychologist and experienced peer counselors.

LSLS allows students to talk to a peer counselor who understands what they are going through. This first-hand perspective can be especially valuable in high-stress environment like law school. Accordingly, students who have experienced their own challenges in law school will be particularly helpful and are encouraged to apply.

For more information please email: lawstudentsforlawstudents@gmail.com or attend the information session on Wednesday, March 10, at 12:45 p.m. in Room 12.

All communications will be kept confidential.
