The association is actively involved with the recruitment of black students into the School of Law. The Business Law Society organizes lectures and forums for students who are interested in practicing in the area of business law upon receiving their law degrees. The Christian Legal Society is a group of law students who share a faith in the basic teachings of Christianity and a desire to practice law in a manner that reflects this faith. The society provides a forum for discussing common problems that confront students as law students and as Christians, mutual support and encouragement, and social programs such as picnics, films, dinners, and athletic activities. Distinguished speakers from various areas of the law are sponsored by the society each year.
Students participate in simulated sessions in which they meet with a new client.
During these sessions, they attempt to establish a productive working relationship with the clients, to elicit relevant information from the clients, and to begin making plans for dealing with clients' problems. Each such session is immediately critiqued. The reactions of the person who has been serving as a client are also obtained. In addition, each session is videotaped to allow student participants to critique their own performances. A team is selected to represent the School of Law in the American Bar Association's Client Counseling Competition.
