Food Law Student Network Online Programs
The Food Law Student Network (FLSN) is a collaboration of law students from around the country dedicated to promoting the study and practice of food law and related fields. In 2015, the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic hosted its inaugural Food Law Student Leadership Summit, the first conference to convene law students from around the country who share a passion for food’s legal issues. Since then, students have formed a network to continue these events beyond the summits.
I am delighted to share that in lieu of a summit this year, the Food Law Student Network is putting on a free week-long digital event series targeted at students interested in food law. We would love it if you were able to share this with your students and have anyone interested in attending. Below you can find the email providing full details. I have also pasted a smaller blurb if you have a newsletter sent to students for your convenience.
