PLANC 8th Quadrennial Conference:
Predicting Pre-Law
New Orleans, June 10-13, 2024
KREWES AND VOLUNTEERS
Curious about the secret to creating a great conference?
​
No committees! In New Orleans fashion we have Conference Krewes instead (which are remarkably similar to committees). Each has a mix of pre-law advisors and law school admission representatives. PLANC 2024 would ​not be possible without the hard work and effort from dozens of volunteers around the country.
​
Thank you to all the volunteers who are a part of the planning process!
