Our 2024 Symposium will be announced shortly.
Each year, the Law School, in cooperation with the Law Review, sponsors symposia that are held at the Law School. This event brings together experts to speak on various facets of timely legal issues. The expert presentations inspire both solicited and unsolicited articles for publication in a subsequent Law Review Volume. Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits are available for attending such symposia, and the regional Continuing Legal Education organizations work with the Law School to promote this event.
