Summer

• Summer Law School Application & Personal Statement Workshops. Make the most of your summer by planning your application process now. This workshop targets students applying to law school during the 2019-2020 cycle for entry into law school in fall 2020. Workshops will be repeated in the summer and fall on various dates and times. Attending a summer workshop will also give you an early peek at additional admissions programming for fall. Please attend a workshop (you only need to attend one) before scheduling an individual appointment for law school application advising. All sessions will be held in 721 East (the conference room of the pre-professional suite) unless otherwise noted.
