10th Annual Pathways to the Legal Profession Conference

11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. CST
Virtual l
Northwestern Pritzker School of Law's Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is excited to invite you to save the date for the 10th Annual Pathways to the Legal Profession Conference. This event will take place virtually on Saturday, February 22nd from 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. CST.
Pathways to the Legal Profession is a virtual conference designed for prospective law school applicants who do not have a familial relationship to the legal profession or who come from backgrounds that are underrepresented in the field of law. Over the course of the conference, participants will gain valuable insights about finalizing their law school applications, hear from current students about their pathways to, and experiences in, law school, and learn from alumni about the myriad opportunities available to legal professionals. There is no cost to participate, but advance registration is required.
Launched in 2016, the Pathways Conference is an annual event founded by students at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. The 2025 Pathways Conference is hosted in partnership between the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and the Office of Admissions & Financial Aid.
