The Muslim Law Student Association was formed in order to provide for the professional and spiritual needs of the New York Law School community.
Our bifurcated existence manifests itself in the dual goals we champion. First, we intend to use our resources and network to provide assistance to our members both during their law school career, and after they graduate.
Second, we hope to foster a learning community (composed of students, faculty, staff, trustees, and alumni) that uncovers wisdom and heart. We plan to offer educational programs that cultivate awareness of the present moment through intellectual, artistic, and meditative disciplines; the effect of which will be to nourish openess and communication, sharpen critical intellect, enhance resourcefulness, and develop effective action in all disciplines. Essentially, we are encouraging the integration of world wisdom traditions with modern culture.
