While not required for law school, joining clubs and organizations is a great way to get involved in the NYU Community and enhance your skills outside of the classroom. We encourage you to explore different clubs that interest you, be them cultural or related to your major. Attending NYU Club Fest at the beginning of each semester is a great way to learn about the different organizations on campus. As you find an organization, think about ways you take on leadership roles within organizations, such as running for the executive board (e-board).
