The Evening Law Students Association (ELSA) was formed in the winter of 2007.

The purpose of the ELSA is:

• To foster a sense of community and common purpose among all Evening Division students and others who share our challenges of maintaining full-time employment, balancing a full home life, and entering the legal career at a later age than most law students.
  
• To communicate the desire of Evening Division to have equivalent career development and academic resources and programs available for all students, regardless of Division
• To serve as an organized mechanism for interaction among Evening Division students such as social events, peer mentoring, academic assistance, and career assistance.
• To serve as a clearinghouse and point of contact for other members of the Law Center who seek the involvement or opinion of the Evening Division students.
