A legal career can begin at many different stages of life, and there is no single roadmap to law school. You do not have to apply as a senior year student to pursue a JD or build a meaningful career in the legal field. This UCLA Alumni webinar explores what it takes to apply to law school after graduation. Learn about the application process and timeline, and hear from an admissions expert from the UCLA School of Law, as well as a current UCLA law student and alumni attorney who will share their experiences. Whether you have long considered law school or are newly exploring the idea, this session will clarify the steps involved and help you determine your next move.
