The principal objective of the club is to sponsor functions for other Criminal Justice students, including informal gatherings, speaker presentations, and field trips. The club is also responsible for the Justice Studies newsletter, which is published at least four times a year. The Legal Studies Club brings together Chadron State College students who have an interest in the law for the purpose of social and educational awareness. The Club organizes its activities to help students, faculty and the community understand and appreciate the personal rights and responsibilities each of us possess as a member of society. The Club also seeks to increase students' knowledge of the legal system, legal employment opportunities, and pre-law preparation.
Activities sponsored include field trips, workshops, and a speaker series.
