GLSA is the representative body for all J.D. exchange students, LL.M. and S.J.D. candidates and represents their interests with the faculty. It organizes professional, educational, cultural and social events for its members, as well as interaction with J.D. students, faculty and staff of the University of Virginia School of Law and other professional schools at the University of Virginia. It is worth clarifying that GLSA is a small association aimed at deriving benefit from the diversity of its members, mostly of whom are international students, by getting them together for different events inside and outside the Law School. Because the LL.M curriculum is a one-year course of study (from August to May), most of the GLSA members and its officers change every year.
