Wisconsin Statewide Pre-Law Pathways Conference & Law Fair

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 Annual Wisconsin Statewide Pre-Law Pathways Conference and Law Fair!

This annual and completely free day-long event is held each spring semester. Attendees can anticipate a busy and exciting day of activities including a discussion on law school admissions featuring guest speakers, breakout workshops for prospective students & pre-law advisers, and lunch during a mock law school class. Admissions representatives from law schools across the nation join us to meet with advisers and prospective students during a Law School Fair.

The event brings together students, advisers, and admissions representatives to discuss the application process, enrollment trends, and opportunities in legal education. Specifically tailored to advisers and prospective law students from Wisconsin and neighboring states, the event helps attendees navigate a better understanding of both admissions procedures and the study of law. First generation students are encouraged to attend. 

ALL ARE WELCOME!

*Free roundtrip bus transportation will be provided from Wisconsin Law School to Marquette Law School.
