Mission
The Abolitionist Learning Zone (ALZ) was founded by a group of students at the end of the 2022 Fall semester. Inspired by the Critical Perspectives program, ALZ is committed to continuing their education through a critical lens, building community, and fostering leftist politics within the law school. ALZ values a community education platform that decenters the rigid pedagogy of law school. ALZ also values critiquing the legacies of oppression and how the law supports it. ALZ chose an abolitionist lens because they believe in the destruction of harmful systems and building ones that center care in their place.

Northeastern Law Students for Justice in Palestine advocates for the total liberation of the Palestinian people. We work to support Palestinian self-determination in its totality, including advocating for an end to all settlements, the blockade and siege on Gaza, the apartheid system, the imprisonment, and the incessant genocide of its people. In doing so, we stand firmly with the Palestinian people's right to resist their oppressor by any means necessary. We aim to center and amplify Palestinian voices in an attempt to clarify the blatant misinformation and propaganda perpetuated by mainstream media. Through direct action, outreach, education, and coalition building with other social justice groups, we hope to be a small part of a larger movement to Free Palestine.

NELS is a student organization at Northeastern University School of Law (NUSL) dedicated to environmental law and policy. NELS takes a justice-centered approach to environmental issues, recognizing that the communities most burdened by environmental harm are often those with the least power in legal and political systems.

Recognizing that environmental challenges often intersect with issues of public health, economic opportunity, housing, energy, and civil rights, NELS is committed to exploring environmental justice and the equitable distribution of environmental benefits and burdens. Through collaboration with local organizations, community service opportunities, and conversations with practitioners, advocates, policymakers, and scholars, we seek to deepen students' understanding of the environmental issues shaping our communities.

NELS is open to all law students, regardless of whether they intend to pursue a career in environmental law. We believe environmental awareness and advocacy are part of every lawyer’s work.
