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 Seattle University School of Law on Saturday, March 1, 2025, for a day that includes a mock class, an admission presentation, opportunities to hear from current law students, and more. See below for the full agenda.

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.

The deadline to register is 11:59 PM on Monday, February 17, 2025. Seats are limited, so we encourage you to register before that date.

Contact Will Bassett, Associate Director for Admission, with any questions.
