2026 Black Student-Athlete Summit

Room #241
Powerful lawyers: may we know them, may we be them, may we never need them. Law isn't just for the litigators. Your favorite brands, teams, and organizations need them too. If a career in law has ever crossed your mind, if you're just curious, run, don't walk to this room because the path to law school starts now. How many times should I take the LSAT? Is law school debt worth it? What happens if I fail the bar? Is it anything like the shows, and why does everyone keep talking about billable hours?! If you have the questions, they have the answers,(for a fee).

DLA Piper is seeking exceptional student athletes wishing to pursue a career in the legal profession. We believe that student athletes have what it takes to succeed in law school and as lawyers - discipline, focus, resilience, and leadership. Our goal is to support the next generation of successful lawyers by providing opportunities to students who might otherwise not have considered a career in law.
