Columbia Language Network

The Columbia Language Network was founded with the mission of providing foreign language instruction to law students, advocating for formal multilingual programming in the law school, and creating a bridge among the JD and LLM communities through our common appreciation of languages. To this end, CLN sponsors several academic, professional, and social activities throughout the year to build a diverse language community within Columbia Law School's faculty and general student body. We are committed to advancing our members’ linguistic skills and promoting cultural competence in our future legal practices.

Columbia Law Couples and Families Association (CL-CFA)

At Columbia Law School, we recognize that many students come here in a committed relationship, a partnership, a marriage, with children, or with hopes of starting a family during law school. The Columbia Law Couples & Families Association (CL-CFA) welcomes student families and significant-others into the CLS community by encouraging and hosting events open to families and plus-ones. We also seek to help students and their significant-others make lifelong friends, and take advantage of the many family-friendly activities that NYC has to offer. Lastly, CL-CFA serves as an advocate and resource on behalf of all students who are balancing the rigors of law school with significant family obligations.

Columbia Law Kennel Club (CLKC)

The Columbia Law Kennel Club's (CLKC) mission is to create a sense of community and support among students that are dog guardians or are considering dog guardianship. Many law students are either current dog guardians or are considering dog guardianship but may feel hesitant to do so considering the personal commitment and responsibility it poses. CLKC provides students with community, resources, and fun events for humans and pups alike.
