LawYours: Diversifying the Legal Profession

LawYours is a free event dedicated to helping underrepresented current and recently graduated college students learn about the law school experience.

We invite students to join us at Sullivan Hall for a day featuring a mock class, an admissions presentation, opportunities to hear from current law students, and more. See the agenda for the most recent LawYours below.

We are particularly interested in hosting those of you who have a background or experience that enables you to bring unique perspectives to the study of law and the legal profession, or that enables you to serve diverse populations.

LawYours 2026 took place on February 28. Check back in the fall of 2026 for more information on the next iteration of this impactful event.
