Welcome to the Asian Pacific American Law Student Association (APALSA) at USC Gould School of Law!
APALSA is dedicated to championing the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community here at USC Gould. On campus, APALSA advocates for the interests of AAPI law students while building a program to support us in navigating the legal field. From career panels to academic advice to formal mentorship programs, APALSA’s robust programming is designed to provide students with the resources they need to succeed in law school.
Outside of campus, APALSA aims to deepen connections with the wider legal community. We seek to strengthen ties with the Trojan Family, other AAPI law student organizations, and the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) via various programs and events. As a platform for law students to meet Gould alumni and others in the AAPI legal community, APALSA is a welcoming space for students to start creating lasting relationships in the field of law.
In the 2024-2025 academic year, the APALSA Executive Board will build upon the work done in past years while establishing exciting new programming for the USC Gould community. Meet our 2024-2025 officers at the Executive Board page!
The current APALSA board is also excited to strengthen our existing sponsorship relationships. For any collaboration opportunities, please see the Collaboration and Sponsorship pages for more information.
Thank you for your support of APALSA. Fight on!
Your APALSA 2024-2025 Co-Presidents,
Nina Huang and Sarah Liu
