Our Mission & Our Reason
Last year, the Arkansas Student Bar Association began hosting its first in-person events since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. These events were held under the advice and COVID-19 guidelines of the University of Arkansas, the City of Fayetteville, and the Arkansas Department of Health. These events were a hit and it became obvious that COVID-19 had been a barrier to our law school community growth. Moving forward, the Arkansas Student Bar Association is seeking to reintroduce our usual repertoire of events to the University of Arkansas School of Law student body while remaining mindful of the challenges the COVID-19 pandemic may pose to the Great State of Arkansas.
