Friday, February 2, 2024
You are cordially invited to join admission officers, faculty, and staff from Marquette University Law School and the University of Wisconsin Law School at the Twelfth Annual Wisconsin Statewide Pre-Law Diversity Conference and Law Fair!
The legal profession needs lawyers who reflect an increasingly diverse population. Age, culture, faith, ethnicity, race, gender, LGBTQ status, and disability all contribute to diversity in law school and the legal profession. And, diversity in the legal profession increases the likelihood of access to justice. Please join admissions officers, faculty, staff, students & alumni from Marquette University Law School and the University of Wisconsin Law School as we explore diversity and the legal profession. You are sure to be inspired!
This IN-PERSON event is FREE to pre-law students and advisers and will be held on Friday, February 2, 2024 from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Central Time at Marquette University Law School. ALL ARE WELCOME!
*Free bus transportation will be provided from Wisconsin Law School to Marquette Law School.
