Prepare Your Registration Lists - Many law schools prepare lists ahead of time with the forum attendee registration numbers that will be used at a particular forum. For your reference, we will be using the following registration numbers for the fall forums:

We are asking schools to assist us in our efforts to capture all potential applicants. If you see attendees in the forum room without name badges, please send them to the registration counters as this will allow them to be included in the forum attendance data.

Send Your Materials to the Drayage Company - Drayage refers to the service provided to exhibitors that receive, store, and deliver your materials to your table at the forum site. George E. Fern Company has been contracted to provide drayage services for this year's forums, and a George E. Fern representative will be available at the beginning of the forum to assist those who used their services. To verify freight arrival or to obtain further information about drayage service ahead of time, call George E. Fern's exhibitor services department at 615.256.0357. Drayage information and table assignments are located at the links at the top of this page. Do not ship your materials to the forum hotel—hotels do not have adequate space available to store exhibit materials, and often can’t locate the materials in a timely manner. In all cities, materials must reach each drayage receiving site at least three days prior to each forum. Be alert when mailing your shipments and make sure you're mailing boxes with the proper table number to the location.

Review the Forum Guidelines - All participating law schools are subject to the Forum Guidelines promulgated by the Services and Programs Committee. Please give a copy to all representatives from your school that will attend a forum, and encourage them to become familiar with the guidelines. An important fact to note concerns table displays, which are limited to one foot in height, and that only three representatives are allowed behind the table at one time. View the Forum Guidelines.

Track Your Shipments – Utilize a shipping company that can track packages, and be sure that your boxes arrive at the drayage warehouse in time. Remember, you are responsible for tracking your own shipments. If there is a delivery problem with your materials, you must have the tracking number and method of shipment in order for them to be traced. In case of a delivery problem, we suggest that you hand-carry representative samples of your materials to the forum.

Purchase Additional Lunch Tickets - Two representatives from each participating law school receive lunch tickets. Additional representatives interested in purchasing lunch tickets may do so for $35 per ticket. If you are interested in purchasing additional lunch tickets, please contact Katie Sutter at ksutter@LSAC.org, as only a small number of lunch tickets will be available for purchase at the forum. Payment for on-site lunch tickets must be made at the time of purchase by credit card or check only.

Review the Cancellation Policy - Schools may cancel their registration without penalty up to 30 days prior to each forum. Please remember there is a $150 administrative charge deducted from refunds made for cancellations between 15 and 30 days prior to a forum, and no refunds given for cancellations less than 15 days prior to a forum. Also, there will be no refunds granted to those schools that have already queried the forum preregistrants.

AT THE FORUM

Visit the LSAC Staff – If you have questions on-site, please see an LSAC staff member at the Representative Information Counter. LSAC staff members will be wearing blue polo shirts so that we can be readily identifiable.

View the Schedule of Events - For everyone’s convenience, there will be a schedule of events posted at the forum registration area and in the Representative Lounge area, with time and location of every “official” forum event listed. Under the forum guidelines, schools should not schedule recruitment events that conflict with forum hours. View the schedule for the forum, including Move-in and Move-out information.

Attend a Representative Reception - A representative reception will be held immediately following the forum on Friday in New York. Check the representative information board in the Representative Lounge area for the exact location.

Meet Prelaw Advisors - Prelaw advisors will be present at the forums to counsel attendees. They have also been invited to join us for lunch during the forum, and will also be allowed to partake of complimentary refreshments throughout. In order for you to easily identify prelaw advisors, their name badges will be marked with a blue dot.

Learn About LSAC Publications/Services - There will be a publications table next to the LSAC information table at each forum. There, potential applicants will be able to view publications prior to ordering them on the web or via phone. In addition LSAC, staff members are available to answer candidate questions about LSAC services.

Visit the Diversity Resources Table - Staff from the Office of Diversity Initiatives will be at the Diversity Resource Table answering questions and providing information of particular interest to minority candidates considering careers in law.

Participate in Forum Workshops - If you are a workshop panelist, the cardinal rule for all workshops is, of course, not to promote one’s own school. While your school will be recognized through your participation, the purpose of the workshops is to provide applicants with useful general information to aid them as they begin planning for a legal education. If you are interested is speaking on a panel, please respond to Anne Brandt’s call for volunteers prior to the forums for the Financial Aid, Application Process, Forum 101, and Lawyer Panels; or contact Kent Lollis, Executive Director for Diversity Initiatives at klollis@LSAC.org for the Diversity Information Panel. View the Forum Workshop Schedule.

Return Shipments - If you are shipping boxes back to your school, check with the LSAC Registration Desk to find out where express shipment packages are being gathered, or if you need UPS or Federal Express shipping labels and tape.
