Pre-Law Day comes to KU

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

Students interested in going to law school have the opportunity to talk to schools from across the country. The University of Kansas pre-law office and Phi Alpha Delta, the pre-law fraternity, are cosponsoring Pre-Law Day in the Kansas Union today. The Cambridge Pre-Law Institute and Kaplan Test Prep Services, as well as 58 schools, will have representatives available.

The fair is the first recruiting event on the national calendar of university-hosted law school fairs.

Clarissa Unger, Colby junior and Phi Alpha Delta secretary, helped set up tables for the event. She said she attended pre-law fairs in the past and that it was a good opportunity to talk to numerous schools.

“It’s an invaluable experience for anyone interested in going to law school,” Unger said. “You can get a better sense of what school is right for you.”

Preston Nicholson, assistant director and pre-law adviser in the University advising center, said the law schools attending the fair increased each year. He said the fair will help students learn more about the law school application process and become better applicants. He said that the University is establishing itself as the premiere law school fair.

“What makes this fair unique is that 31 states are represented at the fair, which shows the respect the fair commands across the country and the respect that law schools far and wide have for the quality of the KU student body,” Nicholson said.

Lisa Chauvin, Olathe junior, will represent Phi Alpha Delta and assist with the general flow of the fair. She said students interested in law school generally have a lot of questions that can be answered at the fair.

The law school fair will take place in the Kansas Union Ballroom from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. today.
