You're invited to the 2012 Upper Midwest Law Fair!
The third annual Upper Midwest Law Fair (UMLF) will take place Saturday, October 20 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Hamline University School of Law. The UMLF is hosted by the four Minnesota law schools featured on this page, and is held on an alternating school’s campus each fall.
UMLF History
The UMLF was conceived in 2010 with the intent to provide prospective students and pre-law advisors access to Midwestern law school professionals in a law school setting, with informational breakout sessions about the law school application process and opportunities to meet with each law school in attendance. The fair has grown since its inception and now plays host to hundreds of prospective students and many pre-law advisors from around the Midwest. The UMLF is free for all attendees, and there are no parking costs.
