I think law school fairs can potentially be very valuable. There was a user on TLS that said he went to the DC forum and was able to talk to the Dean of UVA there. On top of getting a fee waiver, he had what sounds like a good conversation with the Dean that led to continued contact leading up to September.
He applied to UVA on September 1 and got invited to an interview with the Dean that day, and was later admitted that same day. According to him, the Dean mentioned their prior conversations as being a factor in his early admittance. It seems like the majority of the people that get into UVA on the same day that apps open up have had some sort of prior conversation with the Dean.
I'm planning on going to a forum next year and will most likely incorporate some of the conversations I have there with law school reps into my Why X essays.
Very true. I've gone to the forum two years in a row (I thought I'd be going law school last cycle but decided to retest and try for this cycle) and you do get to meet with valuable admissions members. I've met deans and assistant deans of admissions, along with directors of admissions, recruiters, advisors, and current students of the attending schools. I would have to agree and say going next year would be more beneficial. That way, the connections you may make are in close proximity to when your application is sent in.
