Learn About Different Law Schools<\/h2>\n

At the LSAC law school forum, you’ll find a conference room full of law school representative tables and representatives from the LSAC. Not only will they provide literature about the schools, but you might meet current law school students who’ve come to educate you about their school. The schools can get their first impression of you, and you of them! Even if these representatives might not be an accurate representation of the entire school, you’ll have a taste of how students or staff members of the school are like. Are they helpful and courteous? Do they have a positive attitude about the law school? Did they paint a positive picture of your potential experience? You can make the most out of the LSAC law school forum by paying attention to details like these.<\/p>\n

Come Prepared with Questions<\/h2>\n

There’s no better time than at an LSAC law school forum to ask questions directly to law school representatives. You can also ask LSAC officials about the LSAT <\/a>or Credential Assembly Service<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Some of the workshops offered include<\/a> “Ask an Expert: Advice from the Prelaw Advisors,” “Ask an Expert: Navigating the Law School Application Process,” and “Ask an Expert: Financing a Legal Education.” Potential students have asked questions ranging from appropriate diversity essay topics to how to successfully save money for law school. Some students have had questions related to their personal experiences and wanted the perspective of an insider at a law school. Finally, you can even ask an LSAT development staff member details about the LSAT itself! So, the LSAC law school forum is truly a great opportunity that you should definitely take advantage of.<\/p>\n
