The Washburn Business Law Society (WBLS) is a student-run organization. It provides many forums for students to supplement their classroom educational experience in areas of business and transactional law. For example, WBLS
- Hosts speakers throughout the year who provide insight into cutting edge business law topics
- Plans social events that allow students, faculty, and practitioners to meet in an informal setting to become more familiar with each other
- Organizes employment workshops to help members better prepare for and manage employment-search efforts
Members of WBLS elect officers annually.
