JD Information Sessions
USC Gould School of Law

This fall we will host two types of Information Sessions: traditional Information Sessions and a shorter and more specific series called Nuts & Bolts. Please read on for more information about these opportunities. 

Information Sessions:

Our Information Sessions include a discussion of the highlights of a USC Gould education, the intricacies of the application process, and information on how to finance a legal education. After attending, you should have a greater understanding of what USC Gould can offer you and be confident in submitting the strongest possible application. A Q & A period will be available to help answer your questions and a current student will be available to answer questions about their experience at USC Gould.

Dates and Times:

• Thursday, September 17, 2020, 10:00am – 11:30am (PDT)
• Friday, October 2, 2020, 12:00pm – 1:30pm (PDT) (View Recording Here)
