The UIC Criminal Justice Society is dedicated to inspiring interest and understanding of all aspects of the criminal justice system and related fields. We explore the multitude of its branches and disciplines through education and activities such as field trips, conferences, inviting guest speakers, and collaborating with criminal justice associations from other schools. Because of the breadth of criminal justice, we encourage the involvement of all students from different fields of study so that we may foster union of ideas, community, and networking. It is open to any University of Illinois/Chicago student in good standing.

The UIC-CJS emphasizes scholarship, university and community service, and the development of academic skills and professional development among members.
