First-Generation applicants to law school face a unique set of challenges, often navigating the application and admissions process without the networks, resources, and support that may be available to their peers. Northwestern Law’s in-person conference is meant to break down those barriers by providing information, connections, and resources for prospective law students. This program is open to everyone. It would be particularly beneficial for students who do not have a familial relationship to the legal profession, as well as students who may have more limited access to information relating to law school and the field of law.
