Information for Attendees
What to Wear
A law school fair is not the same as a career fair so you do not need a full suit, however business casual would be appropriate since law school representatives will be putting a face to a name. Wear what makes you feel confident and ready to engage! Wear comfortable shoes.
Law School Tours
Tours of the University of Iowa College of Law are designed for students attending the fair from other colleges and universities.
University of Iowa students should plan to attend Explore Iowa Law on October 10th or schedule an alternative visit.
Registration
The fair is free and open to all, advanced registration is not required.
