NOW ACCEPTING 1L REP APPLICATIONS!

Each year, 1Ls from each section have the exciting opportunity to apply for and serve in a leadership role with the Board of Advocates. 1L representatives serve as a point of contact between the 1L class and the BOA. Duties include making in-class announcements about upcoming events, attending tabling sessions, and anything else that is required to achieve the goals of the BOA. This is a great way to get involved in a leadership role early in your law school career.

If you are interested in applying for the position of 1L representative, please email [email protected] to receive a copy of the application. Applications must be submitted to Kathryn Monroe at [email protected] by September 20th.
