Workshops and events will answer questions about Law School during Pre-Law Month of September

A team of advisers will answer questions about how, why, what, when and where to apply to law school during Pre-Law Week late in September on the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus.

Interested in applying but don’t quite know how, or how you can finance it? Curious about how the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) works, how to prep and when? Want to hear from new lawyers about the career they’ve chosen? This is for you.
