You must be purchasing it as part of your undergraduate or graduate studies. Plan duration: one semester (four months from start date). Member materials access: online-only. Gain access to our extensive archive of recorded webinars, monthly member materials including the monthly School Law Reporter and quarterly ELA Notes, and access to the searchable archive of Education Law into Practice (ELIP) articles.

Please note that in addition to benefits like the SLR Express, the member discount of 35% off on most bookstore purchases is not available through this plan.

"I joined ELA as a graduate student and now make a point of telling my students about ELA. I look forward to the conferences each year as they always provide the most current information on a variety of school law issues and provide an opportunity to hear from leaders in the field. I especially appreciate getting to hear from academics, attorneys and administrators. Sharing ideas with folks from multiple perspectives is what makes an ELA conference so uniquely valuable. It’s easily the best conference I attend each year. I wouldn’t miss it."

This customized membership plan is an affordable adjunct to your legal studies. You must be purchasing it as part of your assigned course text and supplements. For the low price of $100, become a full student member of ELA, plus receive a hard copy of the Principal's Legal Handbook as your course text. That's $60 off what you would normally pay for both. Your professor will give you a discount code to apply when you sign up. This special offer can be taken advantage of only once, but when your introductory membership expires you may easily roll it over into a regular student membership. Member materials access: online-only. Otherwise enjoy the full benefits of active membership including the monthly School Law Reporter and quarterly ELA Notes, a 35% percent discount on ELA publications, webinar archive, discounts on conference and seminar fees and access to online services such as the SLR Express (ELA's searchable online case database).
