The Law & Society Students Association (LANDS), is one of the most dynamic and interactive student associations on campus. Our primary goal is to foster a common sense of belonging to a large university such as York. Through our monthly general meetings and many social and academic events, LANDS provides a collective and inclusive space. Law & Society students, as well as students from other majors, can socialize, network, and establish personal and professional relationships with other like-minded students who share an understanding and appreciation of the influence of law in social life.
LANDS fosters the interdisciplinarity of the program by establishing and maintaining contacts and affiliations with student associations from all departments in the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies. We encourage students who come from a wide variety of disciplines to join our organization. LANDS hosts many social and academic events in association with other student organizations which broadens your opportunity for social and professional networking. Relationships are also maintained with Alumni of L&S as well as York University, to guide students and enhance their experiences.
LANDS also maintains a dynamic and ongoing relationship with faculty and staff to ensure a pedagogical environment most conducive to your academic success. We are a first line of reference for undergraduate students to voice your opinions and concerns pertaining to the Law & Society program at York and we act as the conduit for which your concerns are articulated and pronounced to the faculty.
So do you need to have a major in Law & Society in order to join?
No, the Law & Society Students' Association is oriented towards those students majoring in Law & Society, however membership is open to all students regardless of major. We strongly encourage students from all disciplines to join the Law & Society Students' Association.
