ALL ARE WELCOME TO TO THE FREE

Diversity Pre Law Conference, held April 4 & April 5 in Washington, DC. 

http://www.diversityprelawconference.org/workshops-panels/

The National Diversity Pre-Law Conference and Law Fair was created to provide a national outreach and empowerment event designed specifically to go further than most pre-law events, by not only providing general information about law school and the legal profession, but by directly addressing the very real and difficult issues and concerns facing diverse law school aspirants, law students and lawyers. Diversity includes people who are members of historically underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups (Blacks/African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asians), women,  LGBT or Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender individuals, and those with disabilities.  It also includes people who are older in age, have children, and those who have multiple social identities.

The National Diversity Pre-Law Conference & Law Fair also aspires to bring together and connect these aspiring law students with individuals and organizations from across the country who have programs and initiatives that are in support of the common goal of bringing about more meaningful diversity and inclusion in American law schools, and ultimately in the legal profession.

The National Diversity Pre-Law Conference & Law Fair aims to provide aspiring diverse lawyers with access to game-changing information, connections and resources all in one place at one time which will help equip them for success in the admissions process, in law school and in their careers.
