Welcome to the 11th Annual National HBCU Pre-Law Summit & Law Expo 2024!
Join us in the exciting city of Atlanta, Georgia for this amazing in-person event where aspiring lawyers can network, access needed resources, and gain invaluable information and insights about law school admission, law school, and the legal profession.
Connect with law school representatives, legal professionals, and fellow students and alumni from our nation's Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
Participate in a mock law school class, workshops, panel discussions, and keynote sessions to enhance your understanding of law school preparation, law school admission, the law school experience, the bar exam, and legal career options.
This event addresses the unique issues, concerns, and challenges that HBCU students face. It also provides students with access to information about our nation's six (6) HBCU law schools as viable options for legal education.
Don't miss this incredible chance to take the next step towards earning your professional law degree and becoming a lawyer!
Frequently asked questions

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.
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.

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.
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.
