The inaugural Mid-Atlantic NAPLA Connect Meeting hosted by Widener Law Commonwealth in Harrisburg, PA will take place on Friday October 28, 2022. This year’s theme will be “Preparing for Law School: Helping Students Overcome Obstacles.” This innovative meeting will include two tracks for attendees. The Pre-Law Advisor track will provide a professional development opportunity for attendees who advise students heading into law school. The Pre-Law Student track will provide an opportunity for the students of the pre-law advisors in attendance to learn about the law school experience from professors, current students, and admissions professionals. This dual programming is designed to assist pre-law advisors in engaging their students with the broader law school community while also furthering their own professional development.
The cost for pre-law advisors to attend is $25 for NAPLA members and $35 for non-members. There is no fee for pre-law students.
