Applying to Law School

Applying to Law School   
    
    The Applying to Law School Webinar has been especially 

designed for University of Illinois alumni who have decided 

to pursue a legal education. If you are not interested in 

the application process for law school, but you know someone 

else who is, please click through the Registration links

section.


The workshop provides an in-depth, step by step explanation 

of the process of applying to law school, with a special focus 

on the concerns of working professionals who are making a 

transition into legal education. 

Attendees will learn how to:
• Plan for the Law School Admission Test

how to discuss it, and what law schools are looking for 
• Draft an effective personal statement
• Develop a strategy for success in the application process
• Polish law school applications to make them shine

Common application pitfalls and questions will be directly 

addressed in the workshop. There will be extra time in this 

workshop to take questions from those who are currently 

applying to law school. Attendees will receive resources 

and tips to assist you through the application process as well. 
 
Alumni can participate via Webinar for $10. A recording of 

the Webinar will be available for any alumnus who has paid
