This weekend, I attended the Los Angeles Law School Recruitment Forum. Admissions representatives for almost 150 law schools attended the forum, along with probably 1,000 (or so) prelaw students. Students had the opportunity to mill around, asking questions directly to admissions represenatives from their favorite schools. In addition to this, the forum boastes a prelaw advisors table (at which I served for several hours) where prelaw students could ask questions about the application and admissions process. There were several workshops available, including a "Diversity Information Panel," "Financing a Legal Education," "About the LSAT," and "What Do Lawyers Do?" In all, students appeared to be quite impressed with the forum (see this promotional video on the LSAC website).
The good news is that the Western Association of Prelaw Advisors (WAPLA) is planning to host a similar function right here at UNLV in October, 2009. Keep your eyes right here for updates on the UNLV event!
Because this is in the planning stages, now is the perfect time to make your suggestions known. What kinds of presentations would you like to see at this kind of event? What resources would be helpful to you? Submit your suggestions to UNLV Prelaw's Facebook Page today!
