Welcome

ILSA seeks to foster a community and serve the social, religious, and intellectual needs of the Muslim students at the New York University School of Law. We also intend to provide a much needed forum open to all students, staff, and faculty of NYU School of Law designed to encourage free dialogue and debate on any number of issues relating to Islamic law, society and the politics concerning the U.S. and the Muslim world.

We throw a number of social events throughout the year, including our annual Eid Banquet, and also host informative talks and meetings. In the fall, the second and third year students run a mentoring program to establish a support system for the incoming law students. The Islamic Law Students Association also promotes social activism around campus and New York City, working with various NGOs in New York and with other student groups at NYU School of Law.

For the upcoming year, we plan to launch an annual symposium exploring relevant issues of interest to ILSA's membership and also hope to reach out and host joint events with the Muslim student groups at New York's other law schools.

Please feel free to contact us if you're interested in our organization or would like to join our mailing list. The members of ILSA feel strongly about making everyone feel welcome, whatever religious background they may come from.
