Hello, Pre-Law Students,
Happy Black History Month! I write to invite you all to Rutgers Law School Minority Student Program’s (MSP) 9th Annual Pre-Law Conference on Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. until 5:30 pm, at the Camden location of Rutgers Law School. The MSP Pre-Law Conference is designed to increase access to legal education for undergraduate and graduate students who have faced challenges including, but not limited to, life situations in which their opportunities were diminished significantly by factors beyond their control, such as socio-economic status, discrimination, sparse academic resources or opportunities, and/or other similar adverse circumstances during their educational journey. MSP conference attendees will receive invaluable information on how to develop a strong law school application, prepare for the LSAT, and draft an inspiring personal statement. In addition, conference attendees will have an opportunity to attend a law school lecture and hear from Rutgers Law students, faculty and staff about the law school experience. Lastly, attendees will have an opportunity to network with practicing attorneys and enter raffles for LSAT prep materials during the closing reception that is co-sponsored by Alianza, our Latino Law Students Association. Due to Alianza’s hard work, five (5) LSAT Prep Scholarships will also be awarded during the closing reception! Attached is information on the LSAT Prep Scholarship application which is due on February 5.
We’re fortunate to have the Honorable Gregory M. Sleet (Ret.) as the conference keynote speaker. Judge Sleet is a distinguished alumnus of Rutgers Law School, where he was an Earl Warren Legal Scholar. On April 27, 1998, Judge Sleet was confirmed by the United States Senate to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. He was sworn-in as the first African- American to become a Judge of that Court on September 28, 1998, and served as Chief Judge from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2014. Prior to his service on the federal bench, Judge Sleet had a varied professional experience in the law consisting primarily of civil and criminal litigation and corporate legal work. From 1992-1994, he served as in- house counsel in the legal department of Hercules Incorporated. Prior to that, he was a Deputy Attorney General for the State of Delaware and, prior to that, practiced law in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for fourteen years — six of those as an assistant public defender with the Defender Association of Philadelphia. At age 43, Judge Sleet took the oath of office on Monday, June 13, 1994, to become the first African-American U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware. Judge Sleet currently serves as a JAMS Mediator, Arbitrator, Referee/Special Master and Neutral Evaluator.
Attached is the conference flyer. If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me or MSP Assistant Director Jade Hollis.
