Columbia OutLaws

Featured Student Organization of the Month: An LGBTQ+ student organization, OutLaws provides a safe space for all LGBTQ+ students to develop professionally, socially, and academically. We partner with QTPOC, an LGBTQIPA+ student organization that builds community around queer and trans people of color issues and that serves as safe space and empowerment resource for QTPOC students and QTPOC allies.

“Without a doubt, the most fulfilling aspect of being a member of OutLaws has been the community I've found within the organization. Some of my closest friends I have made in law school are fellow OutLaws members, and those who aren't, I met through other student organizations on campus.”

—Justin A. Norris ’24, President of OutLaws
