Some Tips for the Law School Fair
(provided by Janet Hein, Indiana University Maurer School of Law)
Before the Fair
Research which schools will be attending
Have 3 questions prepared (pointed and that reflect you did your research on each school)
Be neat in your appearance (Try to dress at least business/casual. A business suit is not required, but it might help you stand out.)
At the Fair
Do not be too familiar (treat the representatives with professional respect)
Be Calm and Pointed in asking questions
Actively listen to the representative (do not just wait for your turn to talk)
Be respectful of the representative’s time (they would like to talk to as many students at they can)
After the Fair
Email a thank you to each representative that you talk to (within 24 hours)
Protocol for emails
Use Mr./Ms. or the representative title ( Dean, e.g.)
Do not use foul language (not even casually)
Be patient for a response
Treat your email as if it were a writing sample
Be precise and concise in your message
Do not bombard them with too many emails
