History
Five law students from Austria, Hungary, Poland and West Germany founded ELSA on 4 May 1981. Today ELSA is the world's largest independent law students association and it is represented at nearly 300 law faculties in 42 countries across Europe with membership in excess of 30,000 students and young lawyers.
ELSA-activities comprise a large variety of academic and professional events that are organised to fulfill the vision of ELSA and in order to provide our members opportunities to enhance their skills and to interact with each other.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
