Observations:
• Need for a Director for HR?
• Enough focus on HR in ELSA? Many opinions
• More focus on legal persons’ HR
• HRMCC and ELSA Day seems to be the most known
international HR activities
• ELSA is not and cannot be a HR association
• We don’t make an impact – can we be more proactive?
• Blurry line between HR and non political status
• What are HR?

Example (DB AA part)
1.6. Lawyers at Work Event
Lawyers at work events (L@W events) are an
opportunity for law students and young
lawyers to receive career information from
those working in various professions which are
open to law graduates. L@W events aim at
allowing law students and young lawyers an
inside view into the legal profession.
…
1.6.4 The AA officer shall consider organising
L@W events in the form of job fair, career day,
visit to law firms and institutions or
information sessions.
