The UB School of Law will host the Western New York Law Fair, bringing together prospective law students and representatives from approximately 50 law schools for a day of exploration, networking and learning.

The free event will be held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 5 at the UB Center for the Arts on the North Campus. Attendees can register online.

Hosted as part of the New York Law School Swing, a series of law school recruitment events held across New York State, the Western New York Law Fair serves as a gateway for aspiring law students to explore legal education, connect with admissions representatives, and discover the wide range of careers in law.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from law schools across the country, ask questions about admissions and academic programs, and explore the many pathways a legal education can support. In addition to the law fair itself, participants may attend a series of optional panel discussions and guided tours of UB School of Law's O'Brian Hall.

“This is the first law fair of its kind to be held in Western New York since 2019, and the first time UB and the School of Law has hosted an event like this on campus,” says Lindsay Gladney, vice dean for admissions at the School of Law. “We wanted to create something that goes beyond a traditional recruitment fair by giving prospective students a welcoming, accessible way to explore law school, experience UB Law, and begin to see themselves as part of the legal profession.”
