Legal Trivia 101

Each week, the ELSS plans to post a 'legal fun facts/trivia' so you have important legal knowledge with which you can impress your friends, family members, and co-workers. This week's information was found by Elisa Rodriguez (ELSS Secretary and 2L). Thanks Elisa!

Our Mission

The Chicago-Kent Evening Law Student Society (ELSS) provides programming for, advocates on behalf of, and builds community among the evening student body.

We represent the interests of evening students by serving as a liaison between evening students and the administration, faculty, staff, and alumni.

We act to ensure that evening students are included in the academics, programs, and services offered by the administration, faculty, Student Bar Association, and other Chicago-Kent student organizations.

All evening students are encouraged to contact any ELSS officer to contribute suggestions for programs, volunteer to get involved, and to express their concerns.
