National Black Pre-Law Admissions and Preparation Conference and Law Fair

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Registration for Prospective Law Students (High School and College Students, College Graduates, Career Changers, Working Professionals), Pre-Law Advisors, Law Students, Attorneys, and Interested Members of the Community is COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE, but you must pre-register online, via e-mail, fax, or by snail mail. As of Monday, October 22, 2007, registration is officially closed.

PLEASE READ: MAXIMUM CAPACITY HAS BEEN REACHED/PLACING THOSE INTERESTED ON WAITING LIST: We are accepting people to place on the waiting list. If any of the persons who have previously registered express their intention to not attend, we will grant those on the waiting list their space on a first-come, first-served basis. You may fill out the registration form for placement on the waiting list. We will contact you directly if a space becomes available. If you really want to come, we encourage to go ahead and come. There may be space that becomes available on that day. WE WILL ACCEPT WALK-IN REGISTRANTS TO REPLACE REGISTRANTS WHO DON'T SHOW UP. HOWEVER, SINCE WE CANNOT PREDICT REGISTRANTS WHO WILL NOT SHOW ON CONFERENCE DAY, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE SPACE AVAILABILITY IN WORKSHOP SESSIONS AND PANEL DISCUSSIONS. SIGNING UP FOR WAITING LIST PLACEMENT WILL HELP ENSURE YOUR FULL PARTICIPATION.

NOTE: THERE IS NO REGISTRATION FOR THE LAW SCHOOL RECRUITMENT FAIR. IT REMAINS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC REGARDLESS OF REGISTRATION STATUS.

Although registration for the conference is closed, you may still attend the Law School Recruitment Fair portion of the event without registering. Pre-registration and special badges are required for other conference attendance, but not for attendance at the Law Fair. Orange wristbands will be provided for entrance into the Law Fair. You may come and go into the Law Fair all day as long as you are wearing the wristband. Take advantage of this opportunity to communicate with law school reps and meet other aspiring lawyers!

PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED AND RECEIVED YOUR E-MAIL CONFIRMATION LETTER: All pre-registrants should have received a detailed letter regarding next week's event. If you have not received your letter, please e-mail us at info@blackprelawconference.com and we will resend it via e-mail.
