18th State of the Network Report of

ELSA

LXVII ICM Cluj-Napoca

The European Law Students’ Association

Dear ELSA Network,

The following presentation is the report of the results of the 18th

State of the Network Inquiry. The inquiry was conducted in April

2015 before the LXVII International Council Meeting in Cluj-

Napoca, Romania. Only 36 National Groups of ELSA filled in the

inquiry giving us a full overview over what’s the state of the

organisation.

The progress report of the Strategic Goals section is not included

in this document but will be published separately

We ask you to read this report carefully to be fully prepared and to

be at your best ability to work for the benefit of the Network.

Alina Shchetinina
