  1. UIC pre-law students joined pre-law students from UIS and UIUC at the University of Illinois College of Law for the inaugural Illinois Pre-Law Day. Students spent the day hearing from current law students, law professors, admissions reps, and attending a mock class. Students also toured the law school.
  2. UIC alum, Judge Mark Lopez (center), returned to UIC to share information and insights about preparing for law school, choosing a practice area and life on the bench with current UIC pre-law students.
  3. In October 2022, UIC alumnus, Attorney David Johnson, visited with current UIC Pre-Law students and spoke about his UIC experience related to his law school acceptance/studies; offered advice for current UIC students, and shared details about his career-what it’s really like to be a corporate attorney.
  4.
