Named after the Roman Emperor whose legal code inspired the modern concept of civil law and, indeed, the very spelling of "justice," JLS provides a forum for, and increased awareness of, issues of importance to the Italian-American legal community. The Justinian Law Society represents students either having Italian heritage or an interest in Italian culture and values. Activities are designed to achieve the educational, cultural, professional, charitable and social well being of members and the entire NESL community. It seeks to promote the history and accomplishments of great Italians and Italian-Americans. The Society will sponsor informative and entertaining speakers, fundraisers and social gatherings. It will also encourage participation in regional and national organizations such as NIABA (National Italian American Bar Association) and NIAF (National Italian American Foundation) that provide members with valuable networking opportunities.
