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.
• 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!

For additional details on attending the fair, please visit our Law School Representative Information Page.

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 a method to take notes about the information you gather from representatives, as you will talk to many individuals throughout the day.

Note: 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!

Consider attending the Panel and Law Fair events to maximize the opportunity to hear from law admissions experts and gain invaluable insights about law school, the law admissions process, and more! The 2026 Law Admissions Panel will take place at the Illini Union from 2:30 – 3:30 pm immediately following the annual Law School Fair. The panel is an excellent opportunity to maximize the Law Fair day experience!

Thank you to our 2026 Panelists!
