Held in February, THE WORKSHOP addresses minority and diversity issues related to law school and the application process. The focus of the Workshop is to help minority and diversity students address their current and future law school applications. LGBT and non-traditional students will also benefit from this program. We hope that this program will be a step toward bridging the law school gap that currently exists for minority and diversity students in the New England region. Last year's participating schools included Western New England University School of Law, Boston University School of Law, New England Law | Boston, and the University of Connecticut School of Law. The event is held in the Blake Law Center and lunch is provided. Our 2020 events will be posted this fall.
