Middle Eastern Law Student Association

The Middle Eastern Law Student Association (MELSA) at Santa Clara University School of Law is committed to promoting cultural awareness within the legal community by creating an academic and professional environment which promotes tolerance and excellence for Middle Eastern law students. MELSA is also committed to serving our local and global Middle Eastern community to promote universal political growth, progress, and peace.

MELSA delivers on its mission by sponsoring speakers who promote dialogue on critical issues facing every law student, as well as hosting networking and social opportunities for all students to meet lawyers and fellow law students from all backgrounds.
