The purpose of the Joint Event Grant is to encourage law student organizations to partner with each other or externally with local bar associations or other organizations and collaborate their efforts in the planning and execution of events that improve the quality of legal services, encourage professionalism in the legal profession, and/or provide networking opportunities for law students with others in the legal community. Each Law School Affiliate may submit one grant application requesting an award of up to $500.00. The award should be used to plan and promote a joint event, and we encourage Law School Affiliates to get creative with their events. To gather inspiration from past events, please consult the Affiliate Program Idea Bank located at: /affiliates/law-school-grants/, but note that grant application requirements have changed over time.

Events and programs submitted for these grants must relate to the practice of law, e.g., how the event or program improves the practice of law in Florida. The Young Lawyers Division does not fund projects that, in the sole discretion of the YLD, do not relate to the profession and the practice of law. Failure to follow the requirements may result in rescission of the grants and may affect consideration of any future applications for grants. Applicants are encouraged to reach out to the Law School Affiliates Committee Chairs throughout the application process to ensure their programs satisfy all requirements.
