Thank you for your interest in the 2025 University of Illinois Law School Fair hosted in conjunction with the 2025 MAPLA Caravan.  Registration for the Illinois Law School Fair and other MAPLA Caravan sites will be managed through MAPLA and will open in 2025.

Please stay tuned for additional details regarding the 2025 Law School Fair on September 16, 2025.

Why Attend the Fair?

Law school fairs provide unique opportunities to connect with a wide range of law schools. Benefits include the opportunity to:

• Gather information about law schools that interest you.
• Meet the people who will be reading your law school applications and make a good first impression on them.
• Discover new law schools that would be a good fit for you. Scroll down for a list of attending law schools.
• Talk with admissions professionals about what qualities they seek in a candidate.
• Collect some fun freebies and application fee waivers!

The Fair is open to all individuals to attend. We highly encourage individuals applying during the current application cycle or next year’s application cycle to attend!

What to Wear?

Dress is business casual or smart casual. This is not a formal business event and therefore business attire is not required or expected. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as you will be standing and walking around for long periods of time.

What to Bring?

It is not necessary to bring a résumé, schools will not be accepting these documents or offering reviews. Most schools will have a sign-in sheet for you to provide your contact information if you wish. You will want to have some method to take notes about the information you gather from representatives as you will talk to many individuals throughout the day.

iCard: If you are a current University of Illinois Student, please be prepared to present your iCard at the check-in table.

When to Arrive, How Long to Stay?

You can visit the Fair any time during the published hours 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM. You may spend as little or as much time as you would like and you may leave and return as your schedule allows. If you are actively engaged in the law application process this year, we encourage you to plan for at least 1 – 2 hours at the Fair to maximize the number of schools you can visit. We also encourage you to plan to attend the Law Admissions Panel at 2:30 pm if you are able!
