How to join ELSA?
1. If you know that there is a local group of ELSA in your law faculty, contact them and ask about membership registration procedure in your local group. If you don't have contact details to your Local Group, please see the ELSA-network for contact details of your national group that will provide you further information.
2. If there is no local group in your law faculty, contact your national group for more details about establishment of a local group in your country. Contact information of your national group can be found from the ELSA-network.
3. If your group is not represented in the ELSA-network, you can always apply for the network as a new member country as long as you are an European country without ELSA-representation. If you want to establish a new ELSA-group, please write an enquiry to enquiries(at)elsa.org and ELSA International will provide you with more information about application procedure.
