About Us
ELSA Groningen is a non-political and non-profit law students' association founded in 2013. We form a part of the grand network of ELSA (European Law Students' Association), the largest one of its kind with 50.000 members across 375 law faculties. Furthermore, we serve as the seventh of eight Dutch local groups overseen by ELSA the Netherlands, our national group with over 2.200 members. After becoming observers within ELSA the Netherlands in 2014, we officially gained full membership at the Third National Council Meeting (NCM III) in May 2016.
ELSA Groningen is operated by an executive board in collaboration with several committees. We strive to support motivated law students as they integrate into our faculty and the city, as well as throughout their professional development into future lawyers.

EVALUATION
Appreciating the contributions of our predecessors, we shall reflect and evaluate the obstacles that they had to overcome. These evaluations along with our set out goals, will act as a tool for us to continue striving for better.
COMMITMENT
We recognise the honour of being handed the trust and responsibility of our role as the Board of ELSA Groningen. Hence, we intend to be mindful and committed to the goals of ELSA, and align them with our own goals as a local chapter. We are committed to excellence by thoroughly ensuring the quality of our work. We shall see to it that ELSA Groningen displays consistency and sustainability for future boards.
INCLUSIVITY
In our diverse and multicultural community, inclusivity will always be a shared vision of ELSA. We commit to this vision by ensuring varied opportunities that benefit a wide range of people. We hope to see differences of educational levels, backgrounds and cultures, not as boundaries but as ways to connect and grow.
