LSAC Law School Forums: In-Person Forum Schedule

When you register for an in-person forum, you’ll be asked to choose between two time slot options. You’ll be able to visit with law school representatives during the time frame you select.

You may arrive at the forum venue 90 minutes prior to the start of your time slot, but you may not visit with law schools until your assigned entry time. An educational workshop will be available one hour prior to each entry start time. Your opportunity to visit with law schools will conclude at the end of your time slot. Before you leave the event, be sure to check out the Resource Center.
