Admitted Student Events

GET TO KNOW US BETTER

Panel of People

When you are deciding where to get your legal education, visiting a law school is one of the most important parts of the decision-making process. We want you to have every opportunity to get to know Nebraska Law and to experience our uniquely collaborative and supportive culture. We hope that this schedule of events helps you to connect with Nebraska Law as well as your future classmates. We encourage all admitted students to visit at least once. Our suggestion is that you attend our Admitted Student Day on April 10th (details are below). If you cannot come that day or if you'd like to visit more than once, please plan to attend one or more of the other events, both in-person and virtual, listed here. We look forward to spending time with you!

These events are for students admitted for fall 2026 only. Be sure to scroll down to see all the options. To make an individual appointment for a visit and to see a full schedule of events available to all prospective students visit the Schedule a Visit webpage.
