Italian legal tradition and culture, and comparative studies between US and Italian Law, does generate significant interest, including within the CLS community. The Italian Society caters to that interest, as well as to that in current Italian legal, political, and economic affairs, in particular by organizing and promoting academic, professional and social events within CLS.
Furthermore, the Italian Society wants to be a point of reference both for those CLS students (J.D., LL.M. and exchange alike) identifying with an Italian background and for those who would like to know more about what it stands for. In order to do so, the Italian Society organizes mentoring activities for new students, cultivates a network of Italian alumni and assists its members seeking or considering to undertake professional or academic experiences in Italy.
