Traditionally, summer is a time for law students to build skills and gain experience. Meet three students who spent their time well: participating in a global competition in Vienna; training with the Marine Corps; and advocating for at risk LGBTQ youth in New York City. Each returned to Buffalo with new perspectives and a stronger sense of purpose.

The Western New York Law Fair returns to the region on Oct. 5, welcoming prospective students to meet representatives from approximately 50 law schools nationwide and explore legal education and career pathways.
