The Alimenta Association brings together young and enterprising students of law willing to acquire new knowledge and experiences. We organise various activities with a focus on legal topics the primary goal of which is to upgrade the knowledge gained at the faculty in order to become more competitive in the future labour market.

The association has a wider area of activity. In addition to the projects related legal topics, we also organise “Alimenta Cultural Corner”, i.e. group visits to theatre performances and exhibitions with preferential prices for our members and friends of the association. We offer our members we encourage opportunities to participate equally in organising the activities of the association. At the same time, we encourage the realisation of our own quality ideas and personal development of the individual through the improvement of organizational and communication skills in the team environment. Each year, the active membership increases, and the association itself connects with new organisations and people.

The European Law Students’ Association (ELSA) is the world’s largest independent, non-profit and non-political association of law students and young lawyers. Founded in 1981 in Vienna, it currently operates in 43 European countries and brings together more than 40,000 individual members at nearly 300 faculties of law. ELSA Zagreb currently has 250 members, and the most active ones are the members of ELSA teams for 2017/2018.

Throughout the years, the Faculty of Law has repeatedly recognised our work, which was rewarded with certificates, meetings and financial support. Equally valuable acknowledgments were given by the University of Zagreb, sponsors and the community of fellow students. Some projects have changed over the years, both thematically and structurally, and they were recognised as a constant need of a community in which there is room for development. On the other hand, many projects remained original. Over the decades, ELSA has proven able to bear financial burdens and reasonably and meaningfully dispose of revenues. We are particularly proud of the continued growth in the number of our members. As our younger members expand their horizons, the older ones sharpen their abilities. In addition to them, there is an alumni membership that brings together members eager to socialise with the new generations of this association.

The Law Students’ Club (LSC) operates at the Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb, with the aim of connecting students across all study programmes and enriching student life at the Faculty. The Club is open to all students interested in actively participating in the organisation of various educational, humanitarian, and social events.

Through its activities, LSC encourages student initiative and creativity. Its numerous projects include charity quizzes, blood donation drives, creative and educational workshops, CV writing workshops, institutional visits, and the Shadowing project, which enables students to gain practical insight into the legal profession.

The Club also publishes the student magazine Vox studentium, offering students the opportunity to express their views, share experiences, and explore topics relevant to both the academic and professional communities.

The Club represents an important part of student life at the Faculty of Law — a place where friendships are formed, skills are developed, and a sense of community is fostered.

The Meritokrat Association was created in 2018 by proactive students of the Faculty of Law in Zagreb, gathered around one idea – educational literacy of citizens.

One of our more recognizable projects is Financial and Legal Literacy – a long-term project of creating educational animated videos that explain basic legal and financial institutes. It is closely related to the project Through the Small Gate to the Great World, a project by which high school students understand certain social and legal processes, with an emphasis on the organisation of the state government, the importance of the Constitution, the most important international organisations and the like.

Other significant projects include the Law MeetUp Conference &Contest – the so-called career speed dating of law students and potential employers and a new form of legal competition conducted in cooperation with law firms. The Association also implements a humanitarian project Today I am doing something new in which interested students connect with associations where there is a possibility of volunteering (animal shelters, soup kitchens, work with the homeless, etc.).

Finally, the Mark-It team is in charge of organising various events throughout the year, marketing and other activities that contribute to the cohesion of the Association as a whole.

More details about the Association, each team and how to join the Association can be found in the brochure.

The association Pravnik started its work back in 1967 and over the past decades, through numerous projects and initiatives, it has managed to profile itself as a serious participant in academic life.

The most important activity of the Association is the publication of the journal Pravnik, the oldest professional student journal for legal and social issues in the Republic of Croatia. In the journal we publish the highest quality student papers, often awarded with the Rector’s or Dean’s Prize, reviews of professional literature, analysis of legal practice and other interesting facts from the legal sphere. Every year we organise a large Congress of Law Students at which, over a few days, a specific topic is discussed in detail through lectures by legal and other experts and constructive discussions of students and lecturers. Several times a year we organise the debates on current legal, political and social issues, and an excellent response to them indicates the great interest of our students and the need for regular implementation of such and similar projects. Furthermore, for several years we have successfully conducted the competition Pravnik’s professional internship, which enables the students of the Faculty of Law in Zagreb to perform professional internships in law firms and acquire much-needed practical experience and work skills, a foundation for the future.

In addition to the aforementioned, we are constantly working on numerous other projects, and we encourage all members to actively participate in the design and implementation of the same.

Socius is a student association operating within the Faculty of Law’s Study Centre for Social Work. Its members comprise both full-time and part-time students of social work and social policy. The association promotes the values of the social work profession, supports socially excluded and at-risk groups, and contributes to the public good by fostering positive change within the social and academic community.

Throughout the academic year, Socius implements three major projects: Sve što možemo (All That We Can) – organizes creative, sports and reading activities for children living in residential care without adequate parental support; Preko udruge – jedni za druge (Through the Association – Supporting One Another) a programme under which monetary and in-kind donations are collected on a monthly basis and, in cooperation with Caritas of the Archdiocese of Zagreb, delivered directly to beneficiaries of lower socioeconomic status; and EduSexLex – education for young people with mild intellectual disabilities and their parents on partnership and sexuality, awareness-raising within the wider community, and advocacy for the right of young people with mild intellectual disabilities to sex education.

In addition to these projects, Socius runs several ongoing programmes: Green Social Work – promotes community and individual well-being through environmental awareness and sustainable practices; ReSoc – facilitates recreation and socialization among students of social work and social policy; Alternativni načini učenja (Alternative Ways of Learning) – offers direct engagement with various institutions and service users, moving beyond traditional lecture-based learning; and Zamisli (Imagine) – a programe encouraging students to initiate and organize events, humanitarian activities, and other projects they deem important, with organizational and financial support from Socius.

Many members of the Socius association have been recognized for their contributions through the Dean’s Award and the Rector’s Award for socially beneficial work in the academic and broader community.

Socius also publishes the journal Socius, a student-run publication addressing issues in social work and social policy, now available in electronic format.
