Forum 101
Begin the forum experience with this 15-minute workshop on how to get the most from this chance to talk with law school representatives. Receive insider tips on which questions to ask and those to avoid; hear ideas on mapping the day to take advantage of workshops on admissions, financial aid, and the LSAT; and learn about lesser-known forum resources—such as free counseling with prelaw advisors, a panel discussion with local attorneys, and an informative workshop addressing issues of interest to minority applicants.
