On Wednesday, November 6th, 2024, the TXST Law School Fair was held from 4:00-7:00 p.m. in the LBJ Student Center Ballroom. Over 200 students attended the event, which was organized by Career Services and the university’s official Pre-Law Advisor, Dr. Ken Ward. The event provided students with the opportunity to connect with representatives from top law schools across the country, gaining valuable insights into various law programs, admissions requirements, and career paths in the legal field. Over 70 institutions participated, including University of Texas, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Southern Methodist, Boston College, Penn State, Baylor, Syracuse, University of Wisconsin, Michigan State, Texas A & M, and Rutgers.
One student spoke about “how nice it was to get to see options from in your backyard and across the rest of the nation.” Another said that they had “come to see a specific school but ended up talking to multiple tables.” Students were also able to receive tips for strengthening their law school applications and resumes, network with professionals as well as other aspiring law students, and get answers to pressing questions in real-time.
