UB Law School Networking Event
Wednesday November 11th at 5:30 pm
From the reservation page: The University at Buffalo Law School will be hosting evening networking sessions addressing topics on UB Law School admissions criteria, curriculum and special programs, tuition and financial aid. There will also be a panel of current law students who will share their experiences about preparing for law school, why they chose UB Law and life as a law student.
Register for the event here! Hearing directly from law students is always interesting, and hearing what helped them prepare for law school as undergrads along with what they think about law school should be very helpful. Of course, hearing directly from the admissions office to UB Law is the best way to learn about their programs and being competitive.

Have some questions about law school? Want to know more about the application process? Interested in knowing what the law school experience is like?
The UB Law School will be presenting a workshop this upcoming October 14th, from 4:00 – 4:50 p.m. in 145 A Student Union about the law school application and experience. Admission officers will provide information on the application process to UB Law School, admissions, curriculum of study, student-life, and even post-law school opportunities. We will also reserve time to answer questions you may have, and will provide information packets for attendants.
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP by October 13th to Jon Bonebrake by either sending an email to me at bonebrak@buffalo.edu or calling my office number at 716.645.5417.
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear first-hand about UB Law School and the law school application process in general, and I encourage anyone interested in law to attend this informative event!
Now might be a good time to start to think about attending a Law School Forum! Law School Forums, organized by the Law School Admission Council, are Pre-Law events that include workshops and representation from law schools and lots of information about the application process and law as a profession. They are nation-wide events, and there are only a few of them annually. In the Northeast, there is one in both New York City (September 26th) and Boston, (September 29th). The LSAC Forum page has additional information.
Also, UB will have our very own Law School forum on October 2nd called “The Greater Western New York Law School Fair”. This will be an excellent way to meet law school representatives and find out more about the kinds of programs they have to offer, as well as other vital Law School information. Every Pre-Law student is highly encouraged to attend! To find out more, head over the workshops section.
I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer. Mentioned below are some important resources to be aware of as well as information about workshops and other events. The Pre-Law Web site at http://prelaw.buffalo.edu will have additional info regarding Pre-Law events happening in-or-around campus. The front page of the Web site is in Web log format so be sure to check back regularly to get the most up-to-date information regarding everything Pre-Law at UB.
Attention New Students!
Be sure to carefully review the Pre-Law Student Handbook contained in the right margins of the Web site. Here you will find an overview of how to prepare from the very beginning to be a solid applicant to law schools, with an overview, a timeline, a detailed overview of the application process, financial aid, how to get involved, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) and Law School Admission Council, frequently-asked-questions, and additional resources. I recommend all students with an interest in Pre-Law to tackle these pages to get a solid overview of what it takes to pursue a degree in law.
