About the Law School Forum
The Law School Forum is a half-day event held annually at KPU in early November that brings together KPU students and faculty as well as representatives from British Columbia’s law schools to share information about obtaining a legal education and pursuing a career in law. Presentations address the admission criteria, application processes and program features of British Columbia’s law schools. The keynote speaker is a KPU alum and law school graduate who typically describes their journey from KPU to law school and beyond as well as offering insight and advice to students considering a legal education and career.
For more information, email David Lyon (Faculty of Arts) dave.lyon@kpu.ca or Anton Kietaibl (Melville School of Business) anton.kietaibl@kpu.ca.
