After welcoming the Class of 2026, we are looking ahead to our recruitment efforts to connect with future members of the Class of 2027! Whether you want to learn about all things Harvard Law School or you would like our advice on this year’s application components, we hope to see you at our upcoming events.

This blog post outlines our upcoming virtual and in-person recruitment activities. For more information on our online resources, events, and registration details, please visit our Connect with Admissions webpage.

Virtual Events

J.D. Admissions Q&A Sessions:

From late September to early December, we will host six live Q&A sessions. These events offer the chance for you to ask your questions directly to members of the J.D. Admissions Office (that’s us!). For a broad overview of the HLS’s intellectual opportunities, campus community, and admissions process, we recommend you view our recorded information session prior to joining a Q&A event.

Student Experience Webinars:

These nine school-type and geographic webinars offer you the opportunity to hear from current HLS students who share a background with you. From undergraduate location and school type to work experience, we’re excited to offer this series of webinars featuring current students from a variety of geographic locations and educational backgrounds.  Our students look forward to answering your academic, professional, and student life questions!

LSAC Digital Law School Forums:

We are participating in LSAC’s Digital Law School Forum on Wednesday, October 11, and Tuesday, November 14. Join us and other law school representatives to learn more about the law school application process.

In-Person Events

On-Campus Information Sessions:

We are hosting two on-campus information sessions, one on Friday, September 15, and the other on Friday, November 3. These events will include an informational presentation, a Q&A with current students, and a Harvard Law School campus tour.

Navigating Law School Admissions Live Podcast Tour:

After three seasons, Miriam Ingber and Kristi Jobson, the deans of admission at Yale Law School and Harvard Law School, are taking their podcast, Navigating Law School Admissions, on the road. They have partnered with law firms to host live events in Boston, New York City, Seattle, and Los Angeles this fall. Join them in a city near you as they provide candid, accurate, and straightforward advice about law school admissions — direct from the source.

HLS on the Road:

From Maine to Utah, the HLS J.D. Admissions team is visiting several college campuses across the United States this fall. Head over to our HLS on the Road Events to see if we will be at your university.
