Forum 101
Begin the forum experience with this workshop on how to get the most from this chance to talk with law school representatives. Receive insider tips on which questions are the most productive; hear ideas on mapping the day to take advantage of workshops on admission, financial aid, and the LSAT; and learn about lesser-known forum resources—such as free counseling with prelaw advisors and a panel discussion with local attorneys. The first Forum 101 begins an hour before the forum opens, and includes the application process workshop. Come early to get a head start on your forum experience.

Diversity Information Panel
Law schools are interested in recruiting students who reflect rich diversity. Depending on the law school, diversity may include such characteristics as race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, and socioeconomic status. The diversity information panel is an opportunity for students from diverse backgrounds to ask panelists for general advice about admission policies and application procedures. Attending these question-and-answer sessions is not a substitute for visiting law school representatives during forum hours, but they will allow participants to ask questions about the many unique challenges faced by students from diverse backgrounds.
