What's the deal? Did you go? How many did you attend? Was it helpful to make a decision?

Just gotta figure out if I'm going to have to (want to) take time off in the spring.

Pretty lame. I skipped it and spent the weekend looking around town. Take a tour of the law school. Other than that, I'm not sure what they can say that will be helpful. I guess if you have specific questions that would be the appropriate time to ask them.

Thanks! That said, is there much reason to attend the official day instead of going on my own time?

They do have events scheduled that might interest you. For instance, we had a Q&A session with the dean. It's not like you're going to get many opportunities to chat with the dean. They also have scheduled tours, and there was an ice cream mixer where you could meet some future classmates. Then again, many people don't decide where to go until after ASW, so it's just as likely that you'll be meeting people who you'll never see again.
