Pre-Law Day scheduled for 4月4日

校友 judges, 律师, and law students will be on Ohio University’s 雅典 campus for Ohio University’s Pre-Law Day on Thursday, 4月4日.

The program is an excellent opportunity for students at Ohio University to connect with alumni and explore their interest in law school 和 legal profession.

Pre-Law Day gives students interested in legal education and legal careers an opportunity to learn from Ohio University alumni who have gone to law school.

The day features a series of panels and roundtable discussions with alumni who will speak about their law school and professional experiences. Students can attend as many panels as they desire and are encouraged to come with questions about law school, practicing law, 和 legal profession.

Judge Sean Gallagher of the Ohio Eighth District Court of Appeals will deliver the keynote address. An alumnus of Ohio University and Cleveland Marshall College of Law, Gallagher assumed the bench in 2003 and had been serving since.

To conclude the program, students selected for scholarship and experiential learning awards from the Civility in Law, 正义, & 文化 Scholarship, Yousef Faroniya Scholarship in Law, 正义 & 文化, the Law School Application Support Fund, 和 Social 正义 Internship Support Fund will be announced.

Pre-Law Day is sponsored by the Center for Law, 正义 & 文化 和 亲爱的ors Tutorial College.
