Getting Involved

Five Wake Forest Law students having a conversation in the commons.

At Wake Forest Law, what happens outside of the classroom is an important piece of your legal education, and there are many ways to get involved. Engaging in extracurricular activities, like joining student organizations, participating in a wellness session, and attending social functions, allows you to grow both personally and professionally.

Below are just a few of the ways to build your life at the Law School.

Student Bar Association

The Student Bar Association (SBA) is the student government body of Wake Forest Law. Each class elects representatives to the Student Bar Association. The entire school elects an Executive Board which consists of the President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary. SBA works closely with the Law School administration on student matters, helps manage funding for student organizations, and builds community through key events, like Fall Festival and Esquire’s Evening.

Student Organizations

With more than 20 student organizations that vary from affinity groups to those that focus on a specific area of the law, you’ll be sure to find something that sparks your interest. Student organizations organize a variety of social and networking programming and events throughout the year that are open to all students.

Wake Forest Law Ambassadors

The Wake Forest Law Ambassadors are a group of key student leaders who are called upon regularly throughout the year to represent and assist the Law School with various initiatives, events, and engagement opportunities, like Foundations Week and Admitted Students Day.

Leadership & Character

Leadership and character are embedded throughout Wake Forest Law and the University. We aim to equip students with the tools and skills they need to meet the demands of today’s legal and business world. Through a partnership with Wake Forest’s Program for Leadership & Character (PLC), students have the opportunity to gain practical skills needed to excel in any professional setting and to embody the spirit of Pro Humanitate.
