On Wednesday, November 5, the annual TXST Law School Fair was held from 4:00-7:00 in the LBJ Student Center Ballroom. Over 270 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 the University of Texas, Texas Tech University, Texas A&M University, Boston College, Baylor University, Syracuse University, Louisiana State University, and Penn State.
Students spoke about the benefits of having so many options available for networking, highlighting that opportunities ranged from within the state of Texas to states on the opposite side of the country. While some students came to visit specific schools’ tables, many were able to meet with schools they had never had experiences with before.
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.
