ELSA provides young, active individuals with the skills, experience and perspectives necessary to be tomorrow's effective leaders in the international legal and business world. ELSA's mark and influence lies in the diversity of our activities. To help link those different activities into our network, three key areas have been defined.

Academic Activities
Academic Activities are a tool for providing legal information and assist the development of the legal profession in Europe. Through the Academic Activities ELSA makes a direct contribution to legal education. ELSA has during the years developed a considerable number of different projects. Publications such as ELSA Selected Papers on European Law (SPEL) and ELSA Guide to Legal Studies in Europe (GLSE) are an important part of ELSA's activities. The GLSE is also a part of the Studies Abroad Programme, which has as objective to encourage students to study in foreign countries. Furthermore, there are competitions such as Moot Court Competitions and Essay Competitions, and events organised with professional life in mind within the Lawyers at Work events. In order to enable individuals to make use of the widespread ELSA network to obtain scientific legal information that may not be available in their own countries ELSA focuses on legal research. This research can be done with the help of the Legal Research Groups and the ELSA Law Web.

Seminars and Conferences
ELSA's Seminars and Conferences key area serves to complement the formal university curriculum by raising students' consciousness and understanding of global, legal, social, economic and environmental issues. The programme includes
An international seminar or conference provides accommodation for the participants and lasts at least 3 days. More than 50 international seminars and conferences are held annually. An ELSA Law School is an event that aims to be annual and has a scientific programme with a legal topic. An ELSA Law School is organised in close co-operation with the academic or institutional partner(s), i.e. with the law faculty, law institutes etc. The scientific programme includes lectures followed by workshops, which deepen and emphasise different areas of the lecture. Study visits are organised by at least one local group. Study visits may be single, bilateral, multilateral, or institutional. Institutional study visits are study visits to international governmental or non-governmental organisations, public administrations or private institutions.

The Student Trainee Exchange Programme
The Student Trainee Exchange Programme (STEP) enables law students and young lawyers to spend a period of time working abroad in a law related area. Thus introducing them to a different legal system and enabling them to gain valuable professional experience. ELSA supplements the traineeship schemes of law firms, companies, banks, universities, public and private institutions, and provides suitable trainees for both short and long-term placements. However, traineeship exchange is not simply a process of bringing one university student or graduate from one country to another and placing them in a job. It includes an involvement in the community and in different ELSA activities, thus creating a powerful opportunity to learn by interacting with new situations and perspectives.
