The 8th Annual National Black Pre-Law Conference and Law Fair 2012
The mission of The National Black Pre-Law Admissions & Preparation Conference and Law School Recruitment Fair is to provide a comprehensive national event designed specifically for aspiring Black lawyers.
Its purpose is to provide them with access to empowering information, resources, and contacts that will assist them in becoming more excellent, strategic, and competitive law school applicants and law students. The bottom line – we want to help them prior to beginning their law school careers so they can have the “insider” information and connections they need to help them to be successful in their quests to become lawyers.

Featured Alumni Spotlight
“I attended the conference in November 2010 and it has by far been the best pre-law event that I’ve attended. The information I received through the workshops and panels were invaluable. During the LSAT panel, I felt encouraged after being informed of the national average LSAT score for African Americans and for all test takers. Learning that the test was not one of intelligence, but of skills that could be learned gave me confidence that I could conquer the test. Being surrounded by so many African American judges, lawyers, and administrators was a breath of fresh air and an assurance that I too could join the ranks of Black lawyers. Had it not been for the conference, I don’t think that I would have walked away with the confidence I needed to navigate the admissions process nor would I have met a Judge which led to me joining a local non-profit and a research opportunity for this summer. I was accepted to University of California, Berkeley, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, University of Pennsylvania, Duke, Georgetown, Cornell, and University of Southern California. None of that would be possible without the encouragement, amazing advice and instruction, and hope I received after attending the National Black Pre-Law Conference.”
