Welcome to the Yale Undergraduate Legal Aid Association

OUR MISSION

The Yale Undergraduate Legal Aid Association (YULAA) is a Yale College student organization which broadly speaking promotes human rights through legal empowerment on and off campus. Members work with various legal aid organizations and advocacy groups in the greater New Haven area throughout the semester. YULAA also invites speakers to campus who offer direct, practical insight into the criminal justice system, the immigration crisis, refugee resettlement, among other topics. Once a year, YULAA members travel to areas in and outside the United States on service trips, during which members assist and shadow lawyers.

Applications for the 2020-2021 academic year will be live in the Fall of 2020.

LEGAL EMPOWERMENT

YULAA partners with organizations in the New Haven area to connect passionate students with legal aid projects. See Our Work for more information.

EDUCATION

In addition to direct services, YULAA hosts a variety of educational panels and discussions to expose current undergraduates to practitioners of law.

LEGAL AID SERVICE TRIPS

YULAA has embarked on international trips to areas such as Panama in order to help lawyers provide assistance to disadvantaged populations.
