******************************************************************

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL HBCU PRE-LAW SUMMIT & LAW EXPO? Founded by Attorney Evangeline M. Mitchell in 2014 (an HBCU alumna), The National HBCU Pre-Law Summit is the one and only major national pre-law event created especially for students and alumni of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) interested in going to law school and becoming lawyers.

It provides critical information that those aspiring to become lawyers need to know. However, it fills a void by directly addressing the unique issues, concerns, and challenges that HBCU students face. Speeches, workshops, master classes, and panel discussions cover pre-law school preparation, law school admission, law school selection, the law school experience, the bar exam, career success, and much more.

WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO DIDN’T ATTEND HBCUs FOR UNDERGRAD? Even though this event was created for those who attend and those who have graduated from HBCUs, ALL are welcome!

WHAT ELSE IS UNIQUE ABOUT THIS EVENT? This event will also be of special interest to those with an interest in attending one of the six HBCU law schools including Howard University School of Law, Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Southern University Law Center, the University of the District of Columbia Clarke School of Law, Florida A&M University School of Law and North Carolina Central University School of Law. It will provide them with the opportunity to speak with representatives from those schools and hear directly from their deans during the HBCU Law School Deans Showcase. Participants will gain a better understanding of the histories and missions of those institutions, and their significance and legacies in legal education, in the legal profession, and particularly in the community in providing greatly needed legal services for the underserved who would not have access to lawyers.

THIS YEAR'S EVENT IS FULLY LIVE AND IN-PERSON!
