Three Campuses, One Community
ILLINOIS PRE-LAW DAY
April 9, 2026
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. 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. The 2026 Illinois Pre-Law Day will once again partner with the Illinois College of Law; all programming will take place in the Law Building in Champaign, IL.
