The guide (LPE in a Box!) will help you launch a student group, start a reading group, host LPE-themed events, and connect you to a broader network of like-minded law students and practitioners. You can use the form to get in touch about any questions or ideas as well. Don’t be shy!

If you are interested in starting an at-large group, please fill out this form!
