About SWAPLA

The Southwest Association of Pre-Law Advisors (SWAPLA) is a professional organization supporting those who work with students exploring the legal field. Our members work across a variety of institutions, from community colleges to four-year universities and ABA law schools. Some of us are pre-law advisors by title, while others are faculty members, administrators, admissions professionals, or staff members wearing a lot of hats.

We sponsor an annual caravan of law school fairs (the SWAPLA Swing), and multiple opportunities for professional development, networking and collaboration ranging from informal monthly chats (SWAPLA Swaps) to more structured webinars and annual conferences.
