Northwestern Pritzker School of Law's Office of Community Engagement & Access is excited to invite you to save the date for the 11th Annual Pathways to the Legal Profession Conference. This event will take place virtually on Saturday, February 21st, from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM CST.
Pathways to the Legal Profession is an annual virtual conference designed for prospective law school applicants with limited access to information and resources about law school and the legal profession, including, for example, students without a familial relationship to the legal profession. Over the course of the Conference, participants will receive valuable information about finalizing their law school applications, hear from current students about their pathways to and experiences in law school, gain key insights into public interest and clerkship opportunities, and learn from alumni about the myriad career paths available to legal professionals. There is no cost to participate, but advance registration is required.
Launched in 2016, the Pathways Conference is an annual event founded by students at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law. The 2026 Pathways Conference is hosted in partnership between the Office of Community Engagement & Access and the Office of Admissions & Financial Aid.
