The Student Division engages in three types of projects: projects directed by LWOB, projects in conjunction with other law schools, and projects initiated by the Student Division. When performing projects initiated by the Student Division or with other law schools, the Student Division is acting independently of LWOB, and the projects are not endorsed by LWOB.

To join an ‘ongoing’ project please contact the section of your interest. Contact information for each section is posted on the About Us page.
