Harvard Law School Association

Club and Shared Interest Group (SIG)
Annual Certification 2024

 

The HLSA conducts an annual certification process for all Clubs and SIGs. This process aims to ensure that both the Club/SIG and HLSA have established the necessary contact and exchange of information to partner in the coming academic year effectively. This process also serves as an annual review and acknowledgment of the guidelines under which HLS and HLSA expect all Clubs and SIGs to operate.

 

The following must be completed:

  1. Review of the HLSA Club and SIG Operating Guidelines, the HLSA Policy on Issuing Statements, HLSA Partnership Guidelines, and Harvard University and HLS Logo/Trademark Guidelines. These documents must be electronically “approved” by the Club/SIG President on the Club/SIG Annual Certification Survey (#2 below).

  2. Submission of the HLSA Club/SIG Annual Certification for fiscal year 2023 - 2024.

  3. A copy of a Club or SIG's most recent bylaws must be on file with the HLS Alumni Center. Please upload via the Certification survey or send it to hlsa@law.harvard.edu.

 

If the HLSA and the HLS Alumni Relations Office do not receive your completed Certification by May 6, 2024, your Club/SIG will not be registered as an official HLSA Alumni Club this year and will be unable to receive HLSA Club/SIG services or funding. Your HLSA Club/SIG will be removed from any online listings and will not appear in future published materials. If you have questions or concerns about this policy, please contact hlsa@law.harvard.edu.
