We hope you enjoyed the 2007 Midwest Association of Pre-Law Advisors’ (MAPLA) Conference.

 

The conference was held Friday, September 14 through Sunday, September 16, 2007 in Chicago, Illinois at the Chicago City Centre Hotel & Sports Club (formerly the Holiday Inn City Centre).

 

The Board arranged a program that provided important information to both new and experienced pre-law advisors. A few highlights of the scheduled session topics included:

  • New and veteran Pre-Law Advisor forums.

Take advantage of this popular exchange of ideas

  • Mock Admissions

See how various law schools process real application packets

  • Friday Dinner at DePaul University School of Law

Tours, Dinner, and insightful information about DePaul School of Law

  • Best Practices:

Part-Time & Evening programs; reality of transferring to different law schools

Attorneys Working Part-time/flex-time hours

Human Rights Law

  • Keynote Speaker/Lunch, Reception with University of Denver Sturm School of Law, Great Prizes, Giveaways and much more!

The Law School Forum provides access to representatives from most of the ABA accredited law schools and it is at the Marriott on Saturday, September 15—just a few blocks from our hotel. You may want to volunteer for a time slot at the MAPLA table on Saturday afternoon.

 

The Conference site is the The Chicago City Centre Hotel & Sports Club in downtown Chicago which is very close to the Magnificent Mile and the Navy Pier. Saturday evening is open (after the Law School Reception) so that you can explore the city. Hotel room rates are very reasonable at $175.00 plus tax.

 

We hope you will join us in Chicago!
