New organizations are always welcomed! To receive funding from the Student Bar Association and to use Law School facilities, a student organization must be formally recognized. The requirements for recognition are few, and the process is easy.

1. Schedule a meeting with Dean Shaw to discuss strategy (e.g., how to publicize your new organization, how to find an advisor, etc.) To schedule an appointment with Dean Shaw, call (937) 229-3794 or email mary.boston@law.udayton.edu.
