National Bar Association President-Elect Patricia Rosier to Keynote at National Black Pre-Law Event

HOUSTON - April 4, 2013 - PRLog -- The National Black Pre-Law Admissions & Preparation Conference and Law School Recruitment Fair is the nation’s premier information-sharing and networking empowerment event focused on encouraging the success of aspiring Black lawyers.  This comprehensive conference is designed to help Black pre-law students become more excellent, competitive and strategic law school applicants and law students.  Through workshop sessions and panel discussions, law school administrators, law students, lawyers, law professors and judges share critical information about what it really takes to get into law school, pay for law school and manage student loan debt, make the most of the entire law school experience, and compete for a job or create one’s own opportunities.

Just as importantly, another major component of the event is to provide real life positive role models of extremely accomplished African American lawyers who are willing to share their personal stories of how they have beaten the odds to achieve success and who have demonstrated a true desire to make a difference in their communities.  In keeping with this aim, the conference is excited to announce that Attorney Patricia Rosier, President-Elect of the National Bar Association (NBA), the world’s largest and oldest national organization made up of predominantly Black lawyers and judges, will serve as a featured keynote speaker at this year’s event.
