George Washington Law Alumni Association
The George Washington Law Alumni Association (GWLAA) exists to promote GW Law by engaging its alumni. All graduates of GW Law are automatically members of the GWLAA.
You can stay involved with the GWLAA by participating in our many activities throughout the year. Check out the Law Alumni Event Calendar for information on upcoming events.
GWLAA Board of Directors Regional Networking Initiative
The GWLAA Board of Directors Regional Networking Initiative's mission is to reinvigorate the GW Law alumni community by promoting local alumni chapters. We are launching this new initiative in New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago. If you are interested in applying to become a captain, please review the Initiative's description, complete the Chapter Captain Application, and submit it to [email protected].
