Every year, the Women's Law Caucus at Colorado Law invites high school and undergraduate students from across Colorado to join us in Boulder to learn about law school and the career opportunities available to aspiring lawyers. The goal of Women in Law Day is to encourage young women of all backgrounds to consider a career in law. This is a great opportunity for both those who have already contemplated becoming a lawyer and for those who may have never considered it.

Where? Wolf Law Building (CU Boulder), 450 Kittredge Loop Dr, Boulder, CO 80305

When? Saturday, April 2, 2022, 8:30 a.m. - 3:00p.m. 

Who? Open to all high schoolers and undergraduate college students who want to learn more about legal careers.

What? Women in Law Day is free! Students need only to play for transportation to Boulder. The schedule includes a mock first-year law class (no prior knowledge needed), panel sessions with local practicing women attorneys, a keynote speaker, and opportunities to hear from current law students and meet women attorneys. Lunch and snacks will be provided.
