Pacific storm systems can still bring short rainy spells and gusty winds, so pack a light layer and a compact umbrella; check the National Weather Service forecast for Los Angeles in the week before travel.

Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
The United States uses 120V power with Type A and Type B plugs. Downtown Los Angeles has strong mobile coverage; eSIM plans are widely available at LAX and online. The Los Angeles Convention Center typically provides Wi-Fi in public areas, but confirm coverage and any fees with the venue or your exhibitor kit.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Conversation style
Admissions representatives expect direct questions about median LSAT and GPA, program length, scholarships, and career outcomes. Bring a shortlist and take notes so follow-up emails are specific.
Business dress
Business casual is typical for law school forums. Comfortable shoes help because the exhibit hall involves standing and walking between school tables.
Materials to bring
Bring a few printed copies of your resume or a one-page summary, plus a phone with a QR scanner. Many schools use digital inquiry forms rather than paper brochures.
Peak timing
The hall is busiest near opening and around workshop times. Arrive at your entry slot, visit priority schools first, and leave lower-priority tables for slower periods.
