HOUSTON -- Thinking about law school but need to get the facts and connect with those who are currently going through and have already been through it in order to make a more thoughtful and fully-informed decision? In November, Houston, one of the largest and most diverse cities in the country (with the majority of residents being members of minority groups), hosts the nation's premier information-sharing and networking empowerment event for aspiring Black lawyers. The Ninth Annual National Black Pre-Law Admissions & Preparation Conference and Law School Recruitment Fair 2013 will be held from Friday, November 15th to Saturday, November 16th, 2013 at the beautiful Westin Houston, Memorial City conveniently connected to Memorial City Mall by skywalk. This unparalleled event focuses on reaching out to African Americans interested in becoming lawyers in order to provide them with game-changing "insider" information, resources, and contacts to increase their chances of success. There is no other event like this in the nation!
This year's schedule is jam-packed with everything any aspiring lawyer would need to know before deciding to pursue this challenging and highly competitive path. There will be powerful and thought-provoking workshop sessions and panel discussions made up of expert law school administrators and accomplished and knowledgeable law students, law graduates, law professors, lawyers and judges from across the nation. Key information will be shared about the admissions process, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), personal and diversity statements, financing a legal education and managing student loan debt, selecting a law school, preparing for and making the most of the law school experience, diversity issues, and different career options and paths.
Several dynamic top attorneys will serve as featured keynote speakers and share words of wisdom, encouragement and their own personal journeys to lawyerhood. They include Dr. Walter Sutton, Esq., Associate General Counsel, Legal Administration and External Relations, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Bentonville, Arkansas), Patricia Rosier, Esq., President, National Bar Association (Washington, DC), Vernon G. Baker, II, Esq., Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Meritor, Inc. (Troy, Michigan), Daryl K. Washington, Esq., Founder and Editor, Black Legal Issues and Managing Partner of The Law Offices of Daryl K. Washington, P.C. (Dallas, Texas), and Donise E. Brown, Esq., Director-Corporate Counsel, Legal & Corporate Affairs Department, Starbucks Coffee Company (Miami, Florida).
Moreover, participants will have the opportunity to experience a mock law school class, participate in the signature advice clinic and practical assistance session, take a mock diagnostic LSAT exam, make connections during the networking social mixer, and meet representatives from over 100 law schools at the Law School Recruitment Fair. The conference will end on a high note with The Legacy Builders Awards Banquet, as well as the highly-anticipated Aspiring Lawyers Pinning Ceremony. All pre-law registrants will receive the official souvenir program guide, a free subscription to Black Pre-Law magazine, and complimentary access to done-for-you resources, professional success skills tele-seminars, as well as law school admission and preparation success e-books.
No other comprehensive national pre-law conference like this exists that offers all that this one does - period. With only 7% of law students and 4% of all lawyers being African American, the need for greater representation in law schools and in the legal profession remains high. General admission to this groundbreaking "must attend" event is free of charge and open to the public. Deluxe and premium registration packages are also available. High school students, college students and graduates, working professionals, career changers, multicultural, career and pre-law advisors, as well as supporters and parents are all encouraged to take advantage of the amazing benefits this world-class conference offers.
