PALS

The purpose of the Parents Attending Law School (PALS) organization is:
Parents Attending Law School (PALS) is a support group and student organization open to all students enrolled at Mitchell Hamline School of Law. It is primarily focused on the needs of students with children or future parents. Law school is challenging enough as it is–and for parents, peer-to-peer support is critical to maintaining mental and emotional health and wellbeing. Our goal is to provide academic, emotional, and professional support to students throughout the academic year. In the spirit of community and accessibility, all PALS events will be family friendly.
