The St. John’s South Asian Law Students Association was
established in the fall of 2005 to address the cultural, social,
and professional needs of the growing population of students of
South Asian decent, and to promote an understanding and awareness
of political and social issues affecting the South Asian American
community.
SALSA works with other culturally based organizations to create
a unified multicultural community at St. John’s School of Law, in
addition to communicating with South Asian American organizations
outside of the law school. The organization will sponsor various
educational, cultural, and social activities, such as dinners, film
screenings, fundraisers for non-profit community organizations, and
guest speakers addressing legal issues facing the South Asian
community.
SALSA makes a concerted effort to provide academic guidance to
its members, including upper-level mentors, outlines, and elective
advice. SALSA encourages all law students to join and
participate.
