What is CLPS?

The Communications Law and Policy Society ("CLPS") is a student run organization at the Syracuse University College of Law.

What is communications law?

Communications law is a body of primarily federal statutes, regulations, and judicial decisions that govern radio; broadcast, cable, and satellite television; and other means of electronic communication.

CLPS Goals & Objectives

CLPS seeks to bring together an active group of academics, practitioners, and students in the Syracuse area with interests in the communications field, to introduce the community-at-large to the different facets of communications law, and to engage in a dialogue about the legal and policy developments in legal, regulatory, and legislative arenas.

CLPS plans to provide a talented pool of educated, skillful, and passionate future attorneys to employers by working with the university administration to enhance the course offerings in communications law and by working with practitioners in bring relevant lectures to the school.

Membership

Membership in CLPS is open to all SUCOL students in good academic standing who have paid both the student activity fee and a $10 CLPS membership fee.
