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.
Part-Time Students - What they know that you don't
The National Jurist, February 2007
Part-time law school is just as tough as full-time, perhaps even tougher since many part-timers also juggle jobs and family. But some say they will graduate with a leg up on full-timers.
Being an evening student can be time-consuming and exhausting, but many evening students find a way to be active members of the Chicago-Kent community. Here are a few samples of evening students who are taking full advantage of what Chicago-Kent has to offer.
Joanna Brinkman - 3L
Joanna Brinkman is a 3L evening student (May 2009) who is also a Program Officer at the Illinois Housing Development Authority working 35 - 40 hours a week. Joanna is a member of Chicago-Kent’s Moot Court Honor Society and has participated in two major national moot court tournaments over the past year. Last spring, Joanna’s moot court team participated in the American Bar Association’s Appellate Advocacy Competition, where her team was honored among 178 other teams as a National Semifinalist, Regional Finalist and Regional Best Brief Winner. While working full-time, Joanna has sought out opportunities at Chicago-Kent to build her legal experience, most recently spending her 2L summer as a Research Assistant working on foreign and international laws involving property restitution. As a 3L, Joanna currently serves as a Legal Writing Teaching Assistant and participates in the Environmental Law Clinic. She, together with Lalania Gilkey-Johnson and Rachel Moran, won the 2007-08 National Moot Court Competition!
