About Native American Law Student Association at Washburn Law
The Native American Law Student Association at Washburn Law in Topeka, Kansas represents a vital community within one of the region's most tradition-rich legal institutions. As a student organization at Washburn University School of Law, this association brings together Native American law students who share a commitment to advancing justice, preserving cultural heritage, and creating meaningful change within their communities and the legal profession.
Washburn Law's location in Topeka, the capital of Kansas, provides students with unique proximity to state government institutions and a supportive legal community that values public service and community engagement. The law school itself carries a distinguished legacy of social justice, having played a pivotal role in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case—a history that continues to shape the institution's values and commitment to equity. This heritage creates a natural home for student organizations dedicated to underrepresented communities in law.
The association operates within an institution where diversity is actively cultivated and celebrated. With 20% diversity representation in the student body and students from 15 states across the nation, the Native American Law Student Association contributes to the rich, lively learning environment that Washburn Law intentionally fosters. The school's emphasis on practical, hands-on learning ensures that members develop not just legal expertise, but the skills and compassion necessary to serve and lead with integrity in their communities.
Members of the Native American Law Student Association benefit from Washburn Law's student-centered faculty, who serve as dedicated mentors committed to preparing the next generation of legal leaders. Through collaborative learning, specialized coursework, and access to the law school's resources in Topeka, the association empowers Native American law students to thrive academically while maintaining their cultural identity and commitment to tribal communities.
