Due to health concerns, we have postponed this event. The morning panel and afternoon session with AccessLex will be offered on a date TBD as webinars. Special thanks to Suffolk Law School, AccessLex and our panelists for working together on this event.
Please join us on Friday, March 13, 2020, for the 8th annual Boston Connect, hosted by Suffolk University Law School.
This one day conference is a great opportunity for professional development and to network with pre-law advisors and law school professionals from the New England area. Our agenda includes interactive discussions as well as time just to engage as colleagues.
Please register by Feb 28 - meal accommodations may not be possible after this date.
