The Criminal Law Association (CLA) provides a network for all students interested in criminal law. It coordinates activities that provide opportunities for students to learn more about both the prosecution and defense of a criminal case. The CLA encourages debates on current issues in the field of criminal law and criminal justice. Students are able to network with other legal professionals and receive advice about how to navigate a career in criminal law.
