APALSA is a political, academic, community-minded, and social organization. Our goal is to increase awareness and understanding of Asian Pacific American issues while always pushing to give students more opportunities through our activities and resources. This year, we are planning political, professional and social events; working closely with other HLS affinity groups to address minority issues, and collaborating with APALSAs from other law schools in the Boston area to put on several exciting social events, including a semi-formal boat cruise.
