The Harvard European Law Association (HELA) is an organization of J.D.s, LL.M.s, and S.J.D.s of all nationalities interested in European and international legal and political issues.

HELA aims at creating a dynamic forum for discussing and debating issues, events and theories related to European integration. In part, it pursues this goal by inviting members of European institutions, practicing lawyers and academics engaged in the study of European integration to come share their views at Harvard. HELA also endeavors to create opportunities of interchange among the Euro-curious at the Law School and in the rest of the Harvard and Boston community.

The Harvard European Law Association works closely with and co-sponsors events with the European Law Research Center (ELRC) at Harvard Law School.

We welcome new members and ideas at any time, and we provide many opportunities for active involvement in our events.
