The Family Legal Interest Project (FLIP) facilitates on-campus events and other opportunities for students to learn about the complex and exciting legal work involved in family and probate law. FLIP also partners with local non-profits and legal organizations to bring students pro bono opportunities and a chance to network with practicing attorneys in Phoenix. Our mission is to reveal to students how vibrant, prolific, and fulfilling the areas of family and probate law are and encourage more students to consider practicing in these areas after law school.
The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Society seeks both to promote an awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities.
If you’re interested in pursuing a career in public service, government, or advocacy—or simply curious about the many ways legal work can support communities—GPILSA is the place for you.
Our mission is to increase awareness of careers in public interest and connect students like you with the wide range of meaningful career paths available in government and public interest law. Whether you’re aiming for a public defender’s office, a federal agency, an environmental nonprofit, or anything in between, GPILSA is here to support you through programming, resources, and community.

The J. Reuben Clark Law Society is an organization for LDS and like-minded law students which aims to affirm the strength brought to the study of law by a law student's personal religious conviction. We strive through public service and diligent studies to promote fairness and virtue founded upon the rule of law.
Values upon which the society is founded are (1) public service, (2) loyalty to the rule of law, and (3) appreciation for the religious dimension in society and in a law student's personal life. To accomplish its mission, the JRCLS will (1) encourage members to regard law studies as preparation for service of courts, clients, and society, (2) promote and protect the rule of law, and (3) provide its members with opportunities for continuing dialogue on legal topics of significance with members of the Student and local Professional Chapters of the Law Society. Membership is multi-faith and open to any students who share in the goals, ideals, and values of the Law Society.

The Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project is a local branch of a national program mobilizing talented law students to support their communities by hosting constitutional law programs at local Title I high schools. Law Student “Fellows” will hone legal analysis and reasoning skills and connect with the community, while the High School students they support gain confidence, civic awareness and public speaking skills.
In the Fall and Spring semesters, Fellows hold weekly Moot Court Club meetings teaching constitutional law and appellate advocacy. They aim to prepare the club’s members to speak and reason well at the semester’s Regional Competition hosted on the law school’s campus. We have worked primarily with schools in the Phoenix Union School District, such as Maryvale High School and South Mountain High School, though we are happy to connect with any school in the valley either in-person or remotely.
