Welcome 1Ls! Please click here to view a welcome letter from the Southern Legal Society. Who We Are To these ends, the Southern Legal Society sponsors periodic social events with Southern themes; educates students on professional and volunteer legal opportunities in the South; and publicly celebrates the diversity and contributions of Southern culture. A common thread connecting the activities of the Southern Legal Society is a commitment to “bringing Southern hospitality to HLS.”
The social events that the SLS likes to stage highlight Southern food, drink, and culture. For instance, in one month (April 2009) alone, the SLS held a Square Dance on campus, arranged a bourbon tasting with a professional guide, and distributed official SLS T-shirts. Other past events have included a Kentucky Derby Party, football-watching party, and a Dinner and a Movie (featuring Southern cuisine and “To Kill a Mockingbird”). Further ideas the SLS has considered and might do in any given academic year include a Mardi Gras party, a Southern ball, a bluegrass outing, a monster truck rally, a fishing expedition, and a pig roast or BBQ. In addition, a central part of our mission is to bring to campus speakers who can address various aspects of legal practice in the South, and we aim to feature a panel of Southern lawyers at least once a semester. We have also considered sending students over spring break to do volunteer legal work in the South.

Indeed, more than 50 HLS students from outside the above states have joined the SLS mailing list and attend our events. You can join the Southern Legal Society by signing up at any event or by e-mailing us at sls@law.harvard.edu. Contact The Southern Legal Society at HLS |
