Law School Application Workshops - Fall Events
Considering law school, but not sure where to begin? We will take you through the basics of the application process and give you the tools you need to tackle the next steps. Law school can be an expensive endeavor, but don't let that deter you from applying. We will share with you the different options you have for financing your law school experience. Applying to law school is a process and filling out your application can be daunting at first glance (and maybe at second and third glances as well!). We will break down the process into smaller steps and debunk some of the myths that you might have heard. Find out what law schools look for and how to write a statement that best exemplifies your strengths, experiences and ambitions.

Your law career does not have to begin and end in a court room. There are a number of ways in which a law degree can be utilized. “Legal Eagles” from all walks of life will come share their experiences, expectations, and the paths they took to get them to where they are today. Allow them to answer the questions the law school administrators can not answer. If law school is in your near future, you don't want to miss this spectacular series of discussions.

UCS sponsors a series of panel discussions in DC and NYC during the months of June and July.
