October 28: Out in Law School: Building Community and Identity

For LGBTQ+ prospective law students, choosing a law school often involves more than just researching academics, rankings, and costs. It can also mean asking harder-to-answer questions: Will I find community? How can I tell whether a school’s commitment to inclusion is meaningful in practice? Can I build my professional legal identity without leaving important parts of myself behind?

In this candid conversation, currently enrolled members of the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association’s Student Executive Board will share what they wish they had known before entering law school. From researching schools and evaluating campus climates to navigating classrooms, interviews, externships, and student organizations, our panelists will discuss what inclusion looks like in daily life, not just on paper.

The conversation will also explore choices around visibility and privacy, strategies for building affirming peer and mentor networks, and ways to respond to moments of isolation, misunderstanding, or uncertainty while protecting your well-being. Rather than presenting one “right” way to be LGBTQ+ in law school, panelists will reflect on some of the many ways queer students find belonging, make intentional decisions, and develop authentic professional identities. Attendees will leave with practical questions to ask, resources to seek, and a clearer sense of how to choose and enter a law school where they can grow and thrive.
