First Ever National Pre-Law Conference
|
Posted By: Daniel Moss on October 10, 2005 THE FIRST EVER NATIONAL CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON EMPOWERING AFRICAN AMERICAN LAW SCHOOL HOPEFULS IS COMING SOON HOUSTON, TEXAS - The First Annual National Black Pre-Law Admissions & Preparation Conference and Law Fair 2005 will be held on Friday, November 4, 2005 at The University of Houston, University Park in the University Center from 8:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. The event is being organized by Persistence of Vision Productions, and co-sponsored by the Eta Lambda Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., the National Association of Future Black Law Students and HBCUConnect.com. The conference theme is “Empowering African American Law School Aspirants to Effectively Compete.” Our goal is to increase the chances of admission of prospective Black law students by emphasizing the importance of early strategic planning, understanding the highly competitive nature of the law school admissions process, and stressing the significance of academic preparedness and standing out from tough competition. Another component of this conference is to inform students about the academic rigors, demands and expectations of legal education, and to impart strategies to help them prepare for the challenging law school experience prior to actually beginning their law school careers. Additionally, we want to expose law school aspirants to Black attorneys who will share their real-life experiences with the practice of law and nontraditional work. Furthermore, we want to give conference participants the opportunity to fellowship and network with others with similar higher education and professional goals in order to create positive support systems with other achievement-oriented peers, as well as current law students and attorneys who can potentially help them in their quest to become lawyers. Conference workshops and panel discussions will be held all day. Numerous featured workshop panelists and presenters will participate in over seventeen sessions including leading law school administrative professionals, law students and attorneys from all over the nation. There will be a mandatory break between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M. During this two-hour period, conference activities will pause and the law fair will take center stage. Students interested in attending law school will have the opportunity to talk to law school representatives from nearly 90 law schools across the country. In the afternoon from 2:00 P.M. until 5:00 P.M., participants will have the chance to take part in our signature event - The Law School Admissions Help Advice Clinic™ where law students and attorneys will talk one-on-one with law school hopefuls about their personal admissions credentials and answer any questions they might have about getting into law school, choosing a law school and preparing for the law school experience. There will also be other social and networking activities throughout the weekend. During the evening of Friday, November 4, all day Saturday, November 5 and Sunday, November 6 there will be a First Friday Networking Social, the National Association of Future Black Law Students (NAFBLS) Day Membership Recruitment Drive, a special NAFBLS Reception honoring outstanding leaders and those who have gone above and beyond to assist pre-law students, a Black Author/Lawyer Book Signing featuring authors/lawyers Norma Jarrett (Coffee Table Quotes for the Contemporary Christian and the Essence® bestseller Sunday Brunch) and Evangeline M. Mitchell (The African American Pre-Law School Advice Guide, Profiles & Essays of Successful African American Law School Applicants and The African American Law School Survival Guide). Finally, the conference weekend will come to a close with a Sunday Brunch Fellowship. All events will take place at various popular venues throughout the Houston area. This conference is a historic, can’t miss event and is free of charge for ALL participants. Free breakfast will be provided starting at 8:00 A.M.. Special gifts will also be given away to the first 100 registrants to arrive on conference day. You can register by sending an e-mail with your contact information to blackprelawconference@yahoo.com.
