Illinois Pre-Law Day is a collaborative effort between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the University of Illinois Chicago, and the University of Illinois Springfield pre-law advising offices.  Founded in 2024, Illinois Pre-Law Day is a unique annual event celebrating student members of our larger University of Illinois pre-law community. Illinois Pre-Law Day provides a unique opportunity for pre-law students at each campus to come together to network, learn about law school, and gain invaluable insights about the legal profession and the law admissions process.

The inaugural Illinois Pre-Law Day was hosted in collaboration with the University of Illinois College of Law in Spring 2024.  Students traveled to Urbana-Champaign for a full day of programming at the College of Law which included a mock class, law student panel, admissions presentation, law building tour, law professor panel, and a special presentation by the Illinois Bar Foundation – Illinois Justice Project, 2024 Illinois Pre-Law Day sponsors.

Attending Pre-Law Day was one of the most important parts of my experience as a pre-law undergraduate because it confirmed my decision to attend law school after graduation. I built connections with current law students, the Pre-Law Advising Office, and other pre-law undergraduates that I maintain to this day. Attending this event inspired me to pursue my professional goals and made my dreams more real and approachable.
