“One thing that makes Columbia Law’s student organizations unique is the cross-pollination between them. As co-president of two different organizations, I'm impressed to find students who are part of both public interest and business-focused groups, or who collaborate across communities that might not otherwise overlap. To me, this kind of intellectual openness of law students is what makes Columbia Law so special: it reflects the curiosity, collaboration, and complexity of the world we're preparing to serve.”

—Anna Pastor ’27, Co-president, Columbia Real Estate Law Society (CRELS) and Columbia Law School Military Association (CLSMA)
