ELLA FUNDING FOR CONFERENCE
ATTENDANCE AND LAW SCHOOL VISITS
• In Fall 2011, a grant was written to ELLA, the Engaged
Learning in the Liberal Arts committee, a standing
committee in the College of Humanities and Social
Sciences, asking for ELLA to fund the travel of two UVU
Christine M. Durham Prelaw Club board members to
Northern California law schools and to attend the 9th
Annual J. Reuben Clark Law Society Conference, to be
held at Stanford University in February, 2012.
• The grant was funded and Jamey Mora, President, and
Dillon Erickson, Vice President, drove to California,
stopping at law schools on their way to the Bay Area for
the conference to which over 400 attorneys and 200 law
students attend annually.
ELLA TRIP
• Students met with admissions deans, students, and
took law school tours
• The law schools that were visited:
– McGeorge Law School, University of Pacific
– University of California, Davis
– University of California, Berkeley
– University of California, Hastings
– Golden Gate University
– University of San Francisco
– Santa Clara University
– Stanford University
ELLA TRIP
• A total of eight schools were visited, quickly
illustrating to our student-leaders that every school
has a unique culture and personality.
• In addition to the law school visits, the studentleaders attended the very popular JRCLS Conference
being held at Stanford University. Excellent speakers
provided insight on legal issues regarding many
issues, including issues that affect religious people all
over the country
• Our student-leaders were able to interact with
attorneys from all over the country, students in law
schools from all over the country, and increase their
understanding of law schools, legal education, and the
profession of law
