Diversity and inclusion are essential to the Seton Hall culture and community. We foster diversity in thought, beliefs, and perspectives from people who represent different cultures, religions, ethnicities, and gender identities.  We believe our community can only benefit when students with different backgrounds and experiences come together to learn, analyze, and reform the law. Diversity & Inclusion

Genesis Canela

Being a part of the LEO program has provided me some of my closest friendships who have really been my support system to help me get through law school. Rely on the resources available to you, including resources outside of the law school, and build relationships with your professors, as their mentorship will go way beyond law school.

LALSA, like other affinity organizations at Seton Hall Law, provides invaluable mentorship and networking opportunities. As a first-generation law student and college student, LALSA provided a community for others like me from the first day of law school, in what can be an intimidating new experience.
