At TU Law, we believe that the legal profession should be a reflection of our communities, so we are honored to hold a symposium to encourage traditionally underrepresented students to become interested in law school. We believe that the future of the law demands greater representation.
Please join us to hear first-hand from law students and lawyers about their personal journeys into the field, experience the excitement of a mock trial and discover if law school is the right path for you.
