Law Day – October 8th

Thursday, October 8, is LAW DAY at IUB.  With over 110 schools coming, it will be the largest Law Fair in the country.  We offer a rare opportunity that most other college students simply do not have.  Get an edge on your competition.  Questions?  Contact HPPLC at hpplc@indiana.edu.  [For a list of schools that have registered so far, click here.]

All 3 events below are great for all IU students, including freshmen and sophomores.  But if you are a current applicant or a junior, you should consider attendance at both events mandatory! 

Please at least drop by and register.  Our turnout is always first in the Big Ten, typically triple that of #2.  Help us stay #1!!  Casual attire is fine.  More formal attire is also fine.

1.  Panel Discussion, Q & A, 9:00 - 10:45 AM (quiet latecomers welcome) in the Frangipani Room - IMU.  Three Law School Deans will reveal the inner secrets of the admissions process:  “WHAT I REALLY LIKE TO SEE IN A LAW SCHOOL APPLICATION!”  These experts will provide invaluable insider information! 

2.  Law School Fair, 11:00 AM until 3:00 PM in Alumni Hall – IMU.

Representatives from 110 (so far) law schools will be here to recruit YOU!  Ask questions about their programs, admission requirements, and your specific strengths (and weaknesses).  Pick up material, information, and application FEE WAIVERS.  Making a good impression can be helpful in the admissions process.  Don’t know what to ask?  Consider these Questions to Ask Law Schools.  Not ready to ask yet?  No problem—you can learn quite a bit by eavesdropping.

3.  For the first time at IU, we will host a Mock Admissions Committee Meeting, 3:15 to 5:00 PM in the Dogwood Room – IMU.  Three actual admission officials from 3 different law schools will openly discuss files of actual applicants!  Discover under what conditions factors BEYOND the numbers help (or not):  e.g., lower LSAT but impressive internships; above average numbers but no activities, low GPA due only to bad freshman year, etc., etc.).  It will reveal solid information that will help you maximize your strengths and finesse your weakness to put together the most powerful application package possible.

We hope to see you there!
