Balance is a key to success in law school and in life. For the next few years, you will be busy preparing for a legal career, but an important element of your education is the opportunity to be involved in co-curricular and extracurricular activities.

The voice of student governance at the University of Dayton School of Law is the Student Bar Association. Student representatives elected by their peers to the Honor Council enforce our Honor Code. You may also be asked sit on important law school committees, including the Orientation, Academic Affairs, and Admissions Committees.
