Overview

The Jagiellonian Law Society (JLS) is a voluntary legal association comprised of a diverse group of legal professionals who are interested in or have roots in Polish or Central and Eastern European cultures. Our members are committed to fostering understanding and respect between different countries, institutions, and legal systems, to eliminate bias and enhance cultural tolerance in the United States, Poland, and around the world. As an organization with many bicultural and bilingual members, the JLS strives to advance the rule of law to protect human rights for all people. We affirm the dignity of every individual and stand against prejudice and stereotyping of any group through promoting open access to courts, international co-operation, and fair and equitable legal institutions. We aim to become a go-to forum for issues of legal importance for the American, Polish, Polish-American, and other Eastern European legal communities in the United States and Poland. Through pro bono work, educational programs, scholarships, and social activities, we engage our members from throughout the entire legal community in the US or Poland. We cooperate with various legal and professional organizations to further our goals. We sponsor lectures, fundraisers, and social gatherings and offer scholarships to those in need. Questions?
