The event will also offer its signature one-on-one admissions and preparation advice help clinic, practical assistance session, and professional success coaching.  There will be a law fair attracting over 100 law schools and partner organizations.  The conference then will end on a high note with the Aspiring Lawyers Pinning Ceremony.
