Frequently asked questions

Do I have to be an HBCU student or alumnus/-na to register for and attend this event?

No. Although this event was created specifically for HBCU students and alumni, ANYONE can register. Since capacity is limited, we ask that only prospective law students, pre-law advisors, career advisors/coaches, teachers/instructors/professors, parents, mentors, and supporters register.

When is the 2024 summit?

This year's summit takes place on Friday, September 27, 2024 and Saturday, September 28, 2024.

Where will this year's event take place?

This year's event will take place in Atlanta, Georgia. The specific venues for different portions of the event will be provided soon.

Are there any recommended hotels in Atlanta?

Yes. We will provide the list of recommended hotels on the website.

Will there be a virtual/online option this year?

Unfortunately, there is not an online option offered. This year's event will be fully in-person.

Where can I find the schedule for event?

The schedule will be on the website. A link to the google document will also be sent to registrants so they can review and always have access to the most updated schedule (with any needed changes and updates).

What is the cost for pre-law students to attend?

Registration is FREE OF CHARGE. Only Sponsors and Law Expo exhibitors are required to pay - which helps us to cover the expenses to host this event.

If I don't have the personal funds to make the trip to Atlanta, what can I do to still attend?

We provide a complimentary sponsorship guidance booklet which provides you with ideas for raising funds to cover the costs of your transportation and hotel in Atlanta.

Does the summit provide scholarships?

The event itself is FREE to our pre-law registrants. However, no, we do not have additional funding to provide scholarships to cover the costs for transportation and hotels for registrants.

How can I cut costs so that the trip can be more affordable?

Attendance at the conference on a very tight budget is possible and does not have to be expensive as long as you are thoughtful and plan in advance. Some ideas: use a budget airline, drive/carpool or take a bus or train if less expensive, share your hotel room, stay at a hostel or airbnb.

What is the expected attire for the event?

Plan to dress in business casual (dress shirt and slacks), or business professional attire. However, just wear your best and what is available to you. You will NOT be turned away based on your attire. Jeans are fine.
