UW-Madison Law School Expo

Fall 2026 Law School Expo

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026 11am-4pm

Union South | Varsity Hall

The Law School Expo is the largest pre-law event of the year. Representatives from law schools around the country answer questions about their own law schools, questions about the application process in general, and questions about life as a law student. This also serves as a resource fair for pre-law students, where you can get information on LSAT prep options, gap year opportunities, financial planning for law school, and more. The Expo also includes breakout sessions and a panel discussion.
