NINTH 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, socioeconomic 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.
On Friday, February 5, 2021, please join admissions officers, faculty, staff, students & alumni from Marquette University Law School and the University of Wisconsin Law School as we explore diversity in law school and the legal profession at the Ninth Annual Wisconsin Pre-Law Diversity Conference and Law Fair. You are sure to be inspired!

REGISTRATION is FREE for all attendees! All sessions are virtual.
