If anyone is interested in law or curious about law school, this event is for you.

Perhaps no one has ever talked to you about law school. No one talked to me about law school until my senior year of undergraduate school. Regardless, this event is for you.

Perhaps you are considering another graduate program. I feel the legal profession is the best profession on the planet. This event is for you.

Perhaps you are undecided about which graduate program to pursue. This event is for you.

Please make plans to attend. The event will be catered. There will be law students, law faculty, as well as attorneys, and other members of the legal profession in attendance to answer your questions.
