NYAPLAP’s eighth annual conference was held February 6 at the CUNY Law School campus at 2 Court Square in Long Island City, Queens. Participants heard from panels on tailoring applications to specific law schools and optimizing prelaw preparation. The speakers revealed significant differences in perspectives, from what they should say about why they want to attend specific schools, to how they should answer questions about other law school applications, to whether they should recommend specific LSAT programs. There was also a presentation about helpful resources on the Law School Admissions Council’s Law Hub for prospective law students. The conference ended with a discussion of the reasons for the recent surge in law school applicants and how advisors can best assist those seeking to promote political change to further their objectives.
The sites and dates have been determined for the next three NYAPLAP conferences. NYAPLAP 9 will be Friday, February 12, 2027 at Fordham Law School. NYAPLAP 10 will be Friday, February 11, 2028 at Brooklyn Law School, and NYAPLAP 11 will be Friday, Febuary 10, 2029 at Cardozo Law School.
